Abstract
  • The author of this project developed and conducted a seminar for pastors motivated to deepen their understanding and application of the concepts of Bowen family systems theory. The thesis of this paper is that Bowen theory can be a valuable formational resource to pastors for growing in the ability to minister faithfully in the face of the intense anxiety manifesting in congregations. The seminar met one day each month for eight months. This paper offers a theological foundation for pastoral formation, an introduction to the essential elements of Bowen theory, and draws correlations between theology and the theory. The paper includes a description of the curriculum components and learning methodologies used in the seminar. The formational journey of each of the participants is documented with concluding observations.
