Understanding Healthy Boundaries:
Insights for Ministry
Through this training course, clergy will learn the three basic types of interpersonal boundaries and the implications of each type for ministry. The presentation will encourage clergy to think about boundaries from a developmental, systemic, and existential frame of reference. Potential boundary conflicts for clergy will be identified as well as effective approaches for reducing and mediating common boundary conflicts in ministry.
About the presenter: Christopher Grimes, Psy.D. is a clinical psychologist and director of the Program for Psychology and Religion at St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute. Dr. Grimes and his staff specialize in the assessment and treatment of clergy and lay ministers, evaluating clients, and providing direction for the psychological and social aspects of formation, treatment, and future growth of religious professionals and candidates for ordination and religious vocations.
