Msgr. James Gaston. A priest of the Diocese of Greensburg, PA, he has been associated with pastoral councils at the parish, regional, and diocese levels throughout his nearly four decades of ministry. After ordination, he pursued graduate studies in Spirituality at Fordham University. In the 1990's he was directly involved in developing diocesan guidelines for pastoral councils in the Diocese of Greensburg, PA (New Wine, New Wineskins) which have subsequently been implemented in other US dioceses. In that same period he developed and introduced a seminary course on pastoral leadership at St. Vincent Seminary, Latrobe, PA. As a pastor, more recently, he has experienced an evolution in the understanding of pastoral councils beyond the primary role of planning. See less
