“To see things from a systems perspective requires getting out of a ‘cause and effect’ way of thinking to seeing how every person’s impulses are part of a circuit of reactions that flow like electric currents around relationships.” – Dr Jenny Brown

Systems in Ministry Reading and Supervision groups are designed to introduce people in diverse ministry settings to Bowen Family Systems Theory and consider the theory’s practical application in an environment of collaborative learning and reflection. The Reading and Supervision groups will be helpful to anyone who is ministering in an official or unofficial capacity and is interested to learn more about how humans predictably interact and how this can be applied in their relationship networks.

What happens in the SIM Reading & Supervision Group?

• Participants will meet for 5 x 1.5-hour lunchtime sessions via Zoom.
• Pre-reading material will be provided which will introduce you to some systems ideas and
  provide a basis for discussion in the group.
• Each member will present one scenario for supervision (at one meeting only). The scenario presented will allow the group to reflect on the situation through a systems lens.
• Groups will be facilitated by an experienced systems thinker who is Christian
• Strict codes of confidentiality will apply.
