This article sets supervision in the context of ministry in its widest sense. A description of an embryonic nineteenth-century model of supervision in an Edinburgh parish is followed by an assessment upon the development of supervision of a seminal paper by Robert Lambourne. Four basic assumptions about the nature of pastoral supervision are set out. These are (a) commitment to high quality pastoral care; (b) commitment to experience-based learning; (c) shared awareness that pastoral ministry is inherently stressful; and (d) agreement that pressures for greater accountability in our work are not burdensome but an opportunity for development. The theme of supervision as ministry is explored in relation to proclamation, education, pastoral care and sharing the spiritual journey
