- Abstract
- This thesis contends that appropriate pastoral self-disclosure of weakness makes the pastor more approachable and effective as a counselor. The study first lays the biblical and theological framework. It then reviews the field literature pertaining to strength and weakness, self-disclosure in general and pastoral counseling, preaching and spiritual leadership. It explores the issues of transference, countertransference, clergy sexual misconduct, honesty, transparency, congruence, reciprocal relationships, credibility, vulnerability, admitting mistakes, reciprocity, and trust within the context of pastoral ministry. The project uses a congregational questionnaire to explore how church members view pastoral self-disclosure. The study concludes with guidelines for appropriate pastoral self-disclosure.
