| Summary: | In 2018 the minister of the so-called "classis" (Dutch: classispredikant) was introduced in the Protestant Church of the Netherlands. In the long process that preceded this new function the question was (and still is) regularly posed: is the classispredikant a pastor pastorum? We use the theory of communicative action of Jürgen Habermas to analyze in what way the more administrative authority of the classispredikant may have an impact on the confidentiality between him and the pastors during his regular and specific visits. In this article we conclude that the classispredikant is a pastor, but not specifically a pastor pastorum. This is a consequence of his broader task - also being a pastor for elders, deacons etc. of the congregation - and of his administrative authority. |
