Abstract

Focuses on the pastor's care of the congregation. Draws on group therapy and practical theology; and critiques two conflicting practical theology views of the pastor's personhood seen in relation to pastoral ministry. Presents a third alternative. Argues that the emotional dimension of the pastor's personhood is an important resource the pastor can use for congregational care.
