| Summary: | As a parish minister, the author puts Nathan Carlin’s correlational work between principlist bioethics and pastoral theology, Pastoral Aesthetics, into conversation with his own experiences in congregational life. Focusing on Carlin’s analyses of the pastoral images of the living human web and the living human document, the author argues for combining these two images in order for the intricacies and contradictions of human desire to be taken into account when understanding our motivations around issues of justice and oppression. Specifically, this combination would allow for more truth-telling and self-examination within majority-white communities such as the author’s own progressive parish, where white-identified congregants are encouraged to delve deeply into their own formation in racist systems and culture. |
