Boundary Training: Power and the Pastoral Office with Rev. Nora Foust
Boundary Training: Power and the Pastoral Office with Rev. Nora Foust
September 15, 2021 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
via Zoom
Register
This has been offered with some ministeriums this year soyou may want to double-check before you register as you can only get creditonce. Drawing from writings of Karen Lebacqz and Richard Gula, we will exploresome of the aspects of the professional power that comes with the pastoraloffice. The power that pastors have is often understated and misunderstood.Some of you may remember this example from FaithTrust Institute and MargaretAtwood.
- She unlocks her office door, then locks it behind her to disguise the fact that she’s in there. It’s not her office hours but the students take advantage. They can smell her out, like sniffer dogs; they’ll seize any opportunity to suck up to her or whine, or attempt to impress her, or foist upon her their version of sulky defiance. I’m just a human being, Tony wants to say to them. But of course she isn’t. She’s a human being with power. There isn’t much of it, but its power all the same.” Robber Bride, Margaret Atwood
Like that of a professor and student, the pastoralrelationship is one of unequal power between minister and congregant. Unequalpower does not necessarily indicate abuse, but it is something for us toconsider with some regularity and intentionality.
