We’ve developed materials reviewing the Foundations of pastoral boundaries and considering specialized topics. While we cannot offer these sessions in person right now, we have been in conversation about what pastoral boundaries during the current pandemic. We are offering a three part training:
These materials are ideally suited to pastors who have already completed Boundary Awareness Training 101 in the past five years in the historic MA conference but others are welcome. This should not be considered a substitute for BAT 101, but may be a first step for those delayed in completing 101 by CoVid19.
Limited to 25 participants per session.
The registration fee for the first session was donated to the RIP Medical Debt fund of the
Southern New England Conference of the UCC. The second session’s registration is also being donated to a charity.
With Rev. Greg Morisse, and in conjunction with Ellie Richardson and the Massachusetts Conference of the UCC, I have been developing updated Boundary Awareness Training Modules on specific topics of interest to pastors in our conference. The first two (Clergy with Spouses and/or Children, and Digital Media) are now being tested and reviewed. Future modules will include Sabbath and Self-Care, Politics, and Single Clergy.
