In 'Soft Shepherd or Almighty Pastor?' contributors seek to go
beyond the taboo on "power" within pastoral contexts. They not only
discuss fundamental theological and philosophical questions about
power but also develop ways to prevent power abuse in pastoral
context. Power is considered as omnipresent and is analyzed in its
positive and negative aspects. Not only the classical associations
of "power over" or "domination" are discussed in relation to
ecclesial and pastoral situations, but also forms of power linked
to "service" and "care." A sacrificial spirituality might also be
dangerous. 'Soft Shepherd or Almighty Pastor?' gathers ten
contributions, all of which reflect on the complexity of power
issues, also in relation to sexual abuse. The authors argue that
dealing adequately with power requires renewed forms of theological
thinking, especially about ministry.
