An interesting question came up today in my cpe group. This isn't actually the question, but is kind of an attempt at recreating and meshing questions.
What right do we have to enter into the lives of others?
What is the balance between sharing our faith and imposing our faith?
What is the difference between "their" need to hear (as we define it) and "our" need to share (as we define it)?
Why did I put quotes around those words?
One of my colleagues talked about the level of discomfort she feels with sharing. Coming from a family with not many connections to the Christian faith, they would not want (and would be offended by) a chaplain's visit.
If a person does not request "no visit", how do we balance call with hospitality?
I'm going to play with this for awhile.
