ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the practical Christology for pastoral supervision grounded in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Scholars and preachers, pastors and supervisors alike are deeply attracted to Jesus at prayer in the garden. The word re-member indicates the deeper significance of memory, place, and bodies. To re-member is to weave back together. The Lakota teachings of mitakuye oyasin not only withstood but prevailed against the violences of neoliberal capitalism and settler colonialism. Lives of ancient people were sustained by re-membering place and memories: from Australia’s First Peoples and their songlines to the Hebrew people of God and their Mosaic code. Technological advances have rendered those of people gifted with good memories somewhat irrelevant. The conversation between Jesus and the two wrongdoers crucified with him is peculiar to Luke. Some commentators believe it constitutes the core of Luke’s crucifixion narrative.
