« SUMMARY OF THE MEDICARE INPATIENT PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM AS RELATED TO CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION By George Hankins-Hull | Main | CPSP Governing Council Meets in Washington, DC »
The current issue of the Journal of Pastoral Care and Counseling carries a very significant article by Donald Capps, entitles "The Bad Enough Mother." It is full of humor, a delight to read, but more significantly, it extends the discussion begun by Phyllis Trible in Texts of Terror:Literary Feminist Readings of Biblical Narratives, and continued by Philip Culbertson in The New Adam: The Future of Male Spirituality.
Capps has greatly extended the discourse on the matter of gender relations, an issue of enormous importance in the current environment. And he accomplishes his task in an astonishingly brief article.
Along with Tribble and Culbertson, I consider this new article essential reading for persons in the clinical pastoral field.
