Wesley House Cambridge | Pastoral Supervision ArticlesPastoral Supervision is a form of accompaniment for ministry, chaplaincy and leadership that pays attention to the wellbeing and development of the practitioner, to the safeguarding and flourishing of those we work amongst, and to the leading of God in the context of the organisations in which we work. It is a fast growing discipline that provides support for accountable ministry practice.

Articles of Interest
What is "pastoral" about supervision?: A Christological proposal | Geoff BroughtonDec 2020 | The shift from pastoral supervision understood as the supervision of pastoral workers who do pastoral things to an attitudinal commitment to seeing things holistically and working for the wellbeing of all dimensions of the system (individual, team and organizational wellbeing) marks the biggest shift in understanding the emerging discipline of pastoral supervision.
Pastoral supervision and redeemed embodiment | Cathy ThomsonDec 2020 | This article will establish the context of sexual abuse in some Australian Christian churches. It will then describe the attempt by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Sexual Abuse (Royal Commission) to address it through its recommendation that professional or pastoral supervision be made mandatory for all church leaders. I will suggest a church culture negatively impacted by an historical body/spirit dualism that has proven to be unhealthy. I will then propose that the very supervision suggested by the Royal Commission to offer vigilance against further perpetration of abuse has the potential through intentional, reflexive practices to facilitate redemptive possibilities for leaders of a church starved of holistic attitudes to human personhood and embodiment. < br /> The Royal Commission uses the terms professional/pastoral supervision interchangeably. Here I will employ "professional supervision" as that which focuses on accountability measures for practitioners, and "pastoral supervision" as supervisory engagements that also have potential for personal transformation.
Becoming "normatively formed": A contribution to supervision from Gregory the Great | Andrew CameronDec 2020 | In their seminal book on the professional supervision of pastors, Jane Leach and Michael Paterson deploy Inskipp and Proctor's "functional" model of supervision to show how the process includes normative, formative, and restorative functions. In our therapeutic age, the "restorative" function (where the supervisee finds some relief in the face of difficulty or distress) is easily apprehended as the most "heart-warming" of the three - and even, in the view of some, the most essential. The "formative" aspect sounds constructive, naming the opportunities afforded in supervision for the supervisee to discern and address their growing edges as a professional. The yearning for these two functions accounts perhaps for the rise of coaching and mentoring in the pastoral world - important modes of help in their own right, but subtly different from the professional supervision of pastors.
