A Workshop on Clergy Ethics & Healthy Boundaries for Clergy and Candidates for Ministry
Workshop led by Executive Minister, Rev. Dr. Mary Miller, the American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts
This workshop meets the guidelines for Professional Ethics required by TABCOM for Ordination and Ministerial Standing.
Healthy boundaries are a gift. They are helpful guidelines that give shape to our relationships. Life-enriching relationships, whether with our spouse, family, friends, colleagues or parishioners, require healthy boundaries. This workshop explores the meaning and practice of healthy boundaries in the context of ministry. It will also identify the signs, dangers, and preventions of boundary violations.
Topics will include: Power and Vulnerability, Dating, Friendships, Dual Relationships, Gifts, The Pulpit, Transference, Hugging and Touch, Intimacy, Personal and Professional Health (Self-Care, Red Flags), and Social Media.
The workshop fee of $35 covers the cost of the program and workbook. To complete the class and receive CEUs or to meet the standards for Ordination and Standing, you will need to submit a 1-page reflection after attending the workshop.
A "Healthy Boundaries" workshop is suggested for ALL persons in ministry; a "refresher" every fives years is also recommended.
