This week was spent at the first part of the Doxology advanced training for pastoral care. It’s going to take me a while to digest all of this, but I will tell you this: it was the best three days I’ve spent in pastoral training since becoming a parish pastor. The chapels were excellent, the presentations were stellar, and the brethren were outstanding.
I hope to blog on this more next week (when i’m more conscious), but in the meantime, I would encourage you to go to the following web site and sign up for Doxology’s monthly newsletter, Pastoral Notes.

Ditto to everything you said.
I can’t say it enough. Pastors should strongly consider attending the next round of Doxology training. This week changed my life and my ministry for the better.
Sitting next to Pr. Peperkorn all week made for icing on the cake.
I could not agree with you more! What an eye-opening week that literally boxed me around, picked me up and cleaned me up all in one fell swoop. Where was this 10 years ago when I entered the sem.???
