Abstract
This study is an effort to inform the parish pastor of his rights in this area. It is written from the viewpoint and knowledge of a layman and is not an attempt to present legal advice in any particular situation which might occur during a pastor's functions as a counselor. It is merely an attempt to lay the facts before him and hopefully enable a more enlightened approach to the possible legal pitfalls of the counseling situation. In every case where there is a legal question involved the pastor should consult an attorney.
