Frances, this is exactly the type of pastoral care analysis/study that seminary students need in preparation for higher ed chaplaincy. Thank you for taking the time to process and write this all out.
Soooo much in here resonates for me. First, I wish I'd had an interfaith chaplain like you during my students years! Second, yes yes yes to prioritizing space for feelings, and to focusing on adaptation, not technical solutions. That class with Ronald Heifetz sounds overwhelming, in good ways and challenging ways. And it sounds applicable to work in so many spaces. I'm grateful to find you here, Frances, and for all that you're sharing with the world!
