This conference aims to add to the body of knowledge of pastoral ethics through narrative reflection.
Coram Deo will initiate an academic dialogue around pastoral narrative discourses this year. In this way we hope to facilitate the development of a community of practice which will generate new meanings in the pastoral conversation. We wish to create a respectful space within which the Narrative paradigm and Pastoral Theology can meet and creatively contribute to the body of knowledge available to pastoral scholars and practitioners.
This year the theme will be "Ethics in Pastoral Praxis", and we would like to stimulate reflection on the ethical context of pastoral praxis.
The first mini-conference will take place on Friday 9 March and we are privileged to have two erudite speakers who will introduce the conference themes.
Coram Deo loods vanjaar ook ’n akademiese gesprek rondom die pastoraal-narratief. So hoop ons om ’n nuwe werksgemeenskap te help ontwikkel, wat deur dialoog betekenis gaan skep in pastoraat. Hier hoop ons om die respekvolle ruimte te skep waarbinne die narratief en pastoraat mekaar kan ontmoet en kreatief tot die korpus van betekenis te kan bydra.
Vanjaar is ons tema "Etiek in Pastoraat" en ons wil gesprekke stimuleer waarin ons oor die etiese konteks van pastoraat kan besin.
Die eerste mini-kongres vind op 9 Maart plaas en ons is bevoorreg dat twee sprekers van formaat ingewillig het om die gesprekke in te lei.
