In March of 1993, the Association of Theological Schools sponsored a "Consultation on Globalization and the Practical Theological Disciplines." Papers from the consultation were printed in Theological Education, XXX, I. What follows is a condensation and revision of a paper that was part ofthat volume. My formal work on this topic began in 1989 with a workshop on "A Transcultural Perspective on Pastoral Theology" at the annual meeting of the Society for Pastoral Theology. The workshop reflected interest in cross-cultural studies that had begun in the late 1960s with a cross-cultural approach to a course in "Pastoral Psychology and Theology" and a seminar on "Pastoral Care and Cultural Patterns." The initial focus of the seminar was on "Death and Bereavement." A sabbatical leave in Singapore in 1971-72 provided an opportunity to study the response to death in Chinese society. After our return from Singapore, the focus of the seminar changed to "Aging;" and in 1985 Margaret (my wife) and I studied aging in Taiwan and Singapore. In 1991 we returned to Asia, where we both taught at Trinity Theological College, and visited Taiwan and the Philippines under the auspices of the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia. My thinking about teaching pastoral theology in global perspective continues to develop, and the present article is more than a condensed version of the Theological Education paper. That paper concluded with a syllabus for a "dream" course in Pastoral Theology. Such a syllabus is beyond the scope of this article, but the underlying assumptions and some of the ideas about the objectives, content, and methodology of teaching pastoral theology are included.

The purpose of this article is to tell you about my theological home and how it informs my work as a pastoral theologian. I dare to do this because I believe that the uniqueness of my home will enrich the discussion of pastoral theology. The steering committee of the Society for Pastoral Theology asked me to give the presentation that forms the basis of this paper at the 10th annual meeting of the Society (June 17, 1994). A member of the committee gave the following working definition to the term theological home: "The theological sources you use and the way you listen to them." Another member said that the committee wanted to know "what theological vision inspired, directed, and challenged my clinical work and my teaching of pastoral care." Further they hoped that the presentation would help others to consider the theological basis of their pastoral care and teaching. Part of the reason that the committee asked me in particular to respond to this question was my race: I am an African Americain who has written about the unique contributions that my heritage brings to pastoral care and pastoral theology (Taylor, 1992). The reason I accepted was that I represented two under-represented theological houses. Most houses have the same components: walls, floors, windows, rooms, furniture. Likewise most theological houses are built of four basic components—scripture, tradition, cultural information (the culture's worldview and knowledge), and the experience of the faithful. The differences between theological houses has to do with the arrangements of these components: Is the biblical floor bare or is it covered with wall-to-wall tradition? Are the windows that let un the culture's light large or small? Are the rooms furnished in traditional oir contemporary style? Is the furniture arranged to facilitate the sharing of experience by the inhabitants? Theological houses are arranged with distinct purposes in mind: to provide refuge, to give a sense of order, to liberate. A house really becomes a home when the inhabitants gather in it and express their life together: a regular family meal, a holiday celebration, the morning rush when everyone leaves for work, school, etc. The characteristic gathering in many theological homes is Sunday worship. As I reflected on the question, "What is my theological home?", I began to realize that my theological home was in two quite different theological houses. These houses are bonded together in me and are both reflected in my work. The image that came to me was of two housing units differing in color, size,

Several years ago I invited a group of seminary students who self-identified as lesbians or bisexuals to my home for conversation. I explained that I had been approached about writing a book for pastoral counselors who worked with women in lesbian relationships. After sharing some of my initial thoughts, the discussion quickly shifted to their concerns about what is important for pastoral counselors to know about lesbian relationships. Many of these women were strong in their feminist perspectives and struggled with traditional understandings of religion and the institutional church. The conversation was lively and passionate. Initially the students asked why I was undertaking such a project. They were not concerned about my integrity or my underlying motives for writing the book, but were perplexed by other questions: Why would lesbians who feel excluded from the church or who have difficulties relating to traditional patriarchal religion approach a pastoral counselor for care and counseling? What would make women who love women trust that pastoral caregivers could hear the depth of their pain, struggle, or concern? Do the faith traditions out of which pastoral counselors come have anything to offer to women in lesbian partnerships? The students were baffled, not by the subject of the book, but by its relevance for the audience of pastoral care specialists. Eventually several women acknowledged that they would have been helped by pastoral care specialists who were sensitive to their issues. Believing that many women struggle with issues of sexuality and spirituality, faith and lesbian identity, I began to pull together a book proposal that would speak to pastoral counselors about the complexities of lesbian relationships. The desire to be in conversation with the language and resources of the Judeo-Christian tradition led me to work from a pastoral theological perspective. My hope is that this work explicitly benefits those pastoral counselors who counsel women in lesbian relationships. If it accomplishes this task, the book will also benefit those women who venture forth and take the risk of approaching pastoral care specialists.
