Workshop Objectives
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
Understanding the Art of Arts: Be able to explain, in their own words, why Gregory held the government of souls to be the “art of arts,” and why he judged the unprepared and the self-seeking unfit for pastoral office.
Discerning our Motives: Cultivate the discipline of examining their own motives for seeking, accepting, or avoiding responsibility for others, and recognise how the mind flatters itself with good intentions.
Describing the Shepherd: Be able to describe the pastor Gregory portrays in Part II: pure in thought, chief in action, discreet in silence and speech, compassionate yet contemplative, humble yet zealous.
Practising the Disciplines: Learn to practise the disciplines Gregory prescribes: guarding the inner life amid outer duties, weighing the praise of men, and rooting all counsel in Scripture.
Writing a Rule of Life: Be equipped to cultivate humility, prudence, and fortitude in the care of souls by writing a personal rule of life for their own sphere of service.
