CNCD 910 - Ministerial Leadership and Congregational Dynamics3 credits
Explores the challenge to leadership by unhealthy triangles found in pastoral relationships and congregational conflicts. In two three-day retreat sessions, students are exposed to Bowen Family Systems Theory as interpreted by Edwin Friedman and others. The course is taught by a qualified family therapy practitioner and/or pastoral psychotherapist. Students reflect on their personal dynamics of pastoral leadership through recollections from their “family of origin emotional process” and ways of relating in their current families and congregations. Case studies, brought to class by students, are discussed and interpreted.
