Families And Care Of Relationships  I : Managing Boundaries

Congregations are relational systems but too few of our pastors understand working within and practicing natural systems approach in ministry. This series (Both February and March) will give valuable instruction in how systems therapy can liberate pastors for ministry and mission.
