Managing Clergy Lives

This careful and comprehensive study is based on rigorous research, designed and delivered by an experienced archdeacon and an academic. The authors well understand both interior and exterior aspects of clergy life ... [It] has much wisdom about how this might happen in twenty-first-century England. -- Alan Wilson, Buckingham Theology, Issue 118.3 As an overview of how things are in the Church today the book is both useful and insightful -- Richard Steel, Convenor of the Grove Books Leadership strand MODEM Matters, ed. 28 Managing Clergy Lives: Obedience, Sacrifice, and Intimacy is a fascinating read...Both of these authors are more than trained to produce such a thought provoking book for ministers like me who are struggling to find our way in the long walk of faith...I found each one of these sections intriguing an caught myself underlining key passages on nearly every page. While reading this book I didn't feel alone anymore, I felt connected with a large community of clergy, just like me who struggle every day with their parish, with their families, with their faith.I hope that Managing Clergy Lives is required reading in Anglican seminaries because it provides much food for thought for both the present Church and the future Church as well...Managing Clergy Lives will be a handy resource for the years to come. -- William C.
