Pastoral care and counseling are creative forms of art, specifically the art of discerning and fostering hope in even hopeless situations. As with other artistic endeavors, pastoral care and counseling can and must be taught and learned through practice, especially by engaging our imaginations and by searching out greater complexity and previously overlooked possibilities for positive action among those in our care. These lectures will draw on works of other artists and art forms, including parables of Jesus as well as contemporary young adult fiction, to inspire and guide participants in reclaiming and honing their own creative energies as artists of hope who act, in the words of British psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, to sabotage foregone conclusions.
Social Work CEUs are available for $10 for NASW members and $20 for non-members. Checks should be made payable to ‘Moravian Theological Seminary’ with ‘Social Work CEU’ in the memo line, and either sent to the Office of Continuing Education or provided on the day of the event. |
