Professional Boundary Training
What is pastoral ethics/boundary training? read more...
The ethical practice of ministry requires an individual minister to function well in many settings. At times, especially when providing counseling and/or pastoral care, ministers are with folks at times of great vulnerability and intimacy. It is easy then for a minister to not always behave appropriately and to abuse their privilege as clergy to be present in such situations. Research has shown that ministers who attend to these situations with clear boundaries and high professional ethics will be able to avoid and prevent behavior that might be damaging or inappropriate. Pastoral ethics training may also address issues of power, conflict and the development of psychologically-healthy means for attending to a minister’s personal needs before, during and after serving in various settings as a minister. These requirements for continuing education seek not only to prevent violations of the various codes of ethics for ordained, commissioned, licensed and in-care persons, but also to assist all ministers to improve their practice of ministry and personal well-being.
