The answer to the question of whether clinical pastoral education and professional chaplaincy need become more scientific should be a Tillichian "yes and no." Pastoral care and counseling is both an art and a science. The field is thus subject ineluctably to scientific examination. However, its artistic dimensions are elusive and impenetrable to scientific scrutiny.
关于临床神职人员教育和专业牧师工作是否需要变得更加科学化这一问题的答案,应该是一个类似于蒂利希式的“既是又不是”。牧师关怀与辅导既是一门艺术,也是一门科学。因此,这个领域不可避免地要接受科学审视。然而,它的艺术维度难以捉摸,无法通过科学审查来探究。
