Propositions and Pilgrimage

The propositions for discussion are found in this editorial. They are the emerging convictions of this particular editor, designed to stimulate your thought and writing on the same issues rather than claiming to be complete or adequate exposition of anyone point. They are unapologetically a mixture of the normative and descriptive-the way this editor believes pastoral counseling ought to be and the way it actually is. Hopefully, both the "is" and the "ought" will become clearer through our discussion. Write your own brief response to one or more of the propositions, not in terms of what's wrong with the position stated here, but your own constructive view.
