Paul Pruyzer of the Menninger Foundation made a telling observation in a talk to the clergy of Topeka. He has done much in the area on interdisciplinary dialogue. He noted that, in a clinical setting, each participant in a consultation spoke in the vocabulary of his or her specialty. The nurse would sound like a nurse, the psychiatrist like a psychiatrist, the social worker like a social worker. The clergy person was always the one exception, generally. He or she would more often borrow the jargon of the others. That could not be said of the Apostle Paul. He knew who he was, and more importantly, whose he was.
