SEBTS Convocation - Richard Knox Young January 19, 1961

Description
  • The service begins with the reading of Psalm 40:2-3 (00:00-00:47). A general word of welcome (00:48-02:41) precedes an opening prayer (02:42-05:19). An introduction is given for the speaker, Richard Knox Young, who was Associate Professor of Pastoral Care at SEBTS (05:20-07:28). The entire message is the delivery of a piece of scholarship finalized in 1961 which focuses on the following details related to pastoral care: Richard Neibuhr’s contributions to the topic (07:29-13:21), the sociological effects of ministry on the pastor (13:22-15:25), and illnesses among ministers compared with that of the general population (15:26-25:19), along with limitations to the research (25:20-27:00). From his personal experience in counseling ministers, Dr. Young offers some frustrating factors in ministry, including the impossibility of the task (27:01-29:44), the emotional drain and constant giving to others (29:45-33:54), the limitations of his co-workers (33:55-34:51), the murmerings of his own unconscious (34:52-37:19), the necessity of working out a philosophy of life (37:20-38:42), his interprofessional relationships (38:43-40:08), success (40:09-41:34), and the minister’s home life (41:35-43:29). In closing, he mentions some exhortations for continuing ministry, including a personal, private devotional life (43:30-46:52), recreation (46:53-48:03), a sense of community (48:04-49:16), belief in your role and what you are doing (49:17-54:15), and having one’s home as a place of refuge (54:16-55:31). He ends by sharing the importance of choosing family before work (55:32-58:27).
