Healthy Boundaries Training – Saturday
The Commission on Ministry is offering Healthy Boundaries Training on Saturday, October 12 (or Tuesday, October 15th) from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. This is a required training for new pastors in the presbytery, and shall be taken as a refresher course every 36 months for all Teaching Elders, Commissioned Ruling Elders, Inquirers, and Certified Christian Educators who are members of the Presbytery of Baltimore. Per G-3.01016, this training is also required for the members of all councils every thirty-six months. The class will be facilitated by Laura Hollister and Carol Kefford.
The purpose of the spiritually-based “Healthy Boundaries” program is:
+ To increase awareness of the need for healthy and appropriate boundaries in the clergy/congregant or spiritual teacher/student relationship,
+ To illustrate the impact of appropriate vs. inappropriate boundaries in promoting effective ministry,
+ To provide clergy and spiritual teachers/leaders with guidelines and suggestions for developing appropriate boundaries and necessary self-care strategies.
