I think most people equate "justice" with "fairness," but our measurement of fairness tends to be very local. If there are two people in need of pastoral attention, the pastor could give each of them twenty minutes, which superficially seems fair, but to the parishioner whose problem is relatively straightforward, it might be ten minutes too long, but twenty minutes might be too short for the person whose problem is more complex or nuanced. When my kids were little, they might complain that it wasn't "fair" that one got shoes and the other got a jacket, but if that's what each of them needed, then it seemed fair to me as their parent. Too often, complaints about fairness reflect the emotional process of those who are struggling with other areas of life…it isn't really that the pastor or the church has treated them unfairly, but that life itself (as our mothers said) seems unfair to them.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785417306666738766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078934951607425396.post-55932954669910721252015-03-06T05:29:34.624-08:002015-03-06T05:29:34.624-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785417306666738766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078934951607425396.post-74724513664239853372014-09-11T11:57:25.365-07:002014-09-11T11:57:25.365-07:00Thank you Israel for your work in this area, I alw...Thank you Israel for your work in this area, I always find that your comments invite me to think about the theory in interesting ways. I wonder though is there a danger in some misunderstanding the "tells" as mere techniques that one can master without working through the concepts in one's own family of origin as well as in other relational systems. What continues to fascinate me about BFST is the way it forces me to go back to my own family, whenever my immaturity and reactionary self hinders my relating to others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750322348703490138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078934951607425396.post-79668966357248801482014-07-21T10:36:35.780-07:002014-07-21T10:36:35.780-07:00Very practical way to help assess the differentiat...Very practical way to help assess the differentiation of one's self.
