Between Two Worlds: Understanding And Managing Clergy Stress

by Andrew R. Irvine

On This Page

Description

Considering the role of the clergy as the 21st century approaches, this study poses the question what is stress and is it avoidable?. It attempts to respond to the question by reflecting upon the practice of ministry, and examining how the clergy is viewed by both church and society. Its aim is to arrive at a concept of wholeness and a healthy balance centred in a renewed spiritual identity.
