Abstract
The author begins by examining the concept of power and various classifications of power. His perception is that much of Western culture sees power, including power in the Church, more negatively than positively. Yet his experience of being supervised as a Christian Minister is that both supervisor and supervisee used power positively. The supervisee had the power to report, receive, reflect and relearn. The supervisor brought to the relationship the powers of preparation, purpose, perspective and partnership. There are some intriguing twists on power in the gospel narrative of Christ's passion. Christian theology reflects a power-sharing, involving both the power of giving and the power of receiving. Against this background, the author moves towards the constructive use of power in the supervisory relationship.
