- W2340517907 abstract "It is with some irony that I begin this essay on the subject of counseling ethics for a symposium issue of the Journal of Criminal Law with the observation that church professionals are speaking less and less of their work with parishioners as pastoral “counseling.” In fact, the clergy are even speaking less frequently of themselves as “professionals.” The disinclination to speak of ourselves as “professionals” and of our work as “counseling” would seem to be partly out of fear of litigation in a day when “counselors” are often licensed by the State and in accordance with the establishment of professional standards of practice. Ronald K. Bullis and Cynthia S. Mazur accordingly advise clergy and religious counselors to be very cautious in claiming to be doing professional counseling or even “pastoral counseling,” as such claims would need to be consistent with applicable state licensing laws. I have been on record previously, however, of both advocating the professionalism of clergy and of recognizing that counseling is an inextricable part of pastoral ministry. Nevertheless, in keeping with the trend of my profession, I will often refer in this essay more precisely to “pastoral advice” or “moral guidance” or other phrases in order to connote specific aspects of the religious counseling typically provided by members of the clergy. Also by way of introduction and as a matter of definition, it might be helpful to notice a distinction in the use of the word “agency.” When speaking of legal obligations, an agent is said to act on behalf of a principal. In the language of moral discourse, however, a moral agent is understood to be one who has the capacity for moral action oneself. There may be no other individual or entity identified as the principal. Sometimes we may refer to “autonomous” moral agents in further clarification. In the hypothetical scenario which is the subject of these essays, there are two moral agents being discussed—the counseling professional and Steven. The scenario is written with the agency of both in mind: How would the counseling professional advise Steven regarding “what he [Steven] should do”? As a member of the clergy and as Steven’s hypothetical pastor, I would normally understand my agency within the pastoral role to be to encourage Steven’s own moral agency as a decision-maker." @default.
