Do you supervise others as part of your ministry? What makes for a “good” supervisee/supervisor relationship? How does this component affect formation for ministry?
Rev. Jules Taylor shares their research on the landscape of supervision practices, focusing especially on supervision with ministerial interns. Across multiple traditions, ministerial formation includes a supervised ministry (i.e. internship) component, and the relationship between supervisee and supervisor cannot be overlooked as a component to learning. This workshop shows what all supervisors can learn by thinking about formation and education as part of the work of supervision. The session will include both discussion and an opportunity for internship supervisors to participate in a research study.
Rev. Jules Taylor is pursuing a Doctor of Ministry, with research focused on supervision of intern ministers across difference. Taylor has been the Senior Director of Contextual Ministry at Meadville Lombard Theological School since 2018, where they have overseen close to 100 ministerial internships. Taylor has been working with seminarians since 2009 as the initial coordinator of the In Care, In Covenant program of the (then) Metro NY District of the Unitarian Universalist Association, and an adjunct professor at the Starr King Ministry and Eden Theological Seminary.
