| Abstrakt: | Pastors in the seventies must adapt to ministering in a pluralistic and rapidly changing society. This situation presents both special problems and opportunities for ministry to persons caught in the transition between what are here called “cultural value time frames.” Three case examples from pastoral counseling practice are presented and reflected upon utilizing the concept of cultural value time frame conflicts. An argument is made for the minister as one especially equipped to be of help to such persons because of his necessary continuing dialogue with a theological tradition. The suggestion is made that what is most needed in such situations is genuine search for culture-transcendent values as these values relate to the concreteness and particularity of human relationships in changing times. |
