You're not new to Bluesky you know conversations and discussions branch off. CPE conversations will always bring up discussions. Also perhaps after pastoral care class you might take another CPE unit to reexamine and reevaluate your preconceptions as the church fathers would bid us do.

You can look at my history - I am quite new to bringing topics to this community to discuss. This evening has certainly been illuminating, and honestly made me feel less comfortable in bringing vulnerable conversations to the ⚓Narthex. Lesson learned, I suppose.

I mean this is the reality you'll deal with in ministry though. Having uncomfortable conversations even personal ones. I will always respond to CPE ones for instance on here and x because I teach it and defend it but also am a proponent of reform. So hearing experiences is helpful.

I've had a lot of uncomfortable conversations. Some that I anticipate will be much harder than most I'll experience in ministry. They're difficult, but I value them. But institutions are often more interested in their own survival as opposed to their reason for being.
