Constellated Ministry : A Guide for Those Serving Today's Pagans, Paperback / softback Book

Constellated Ministry : A Guide for Those Serving Today's Pagans Paperback / softback

Part of the Contemporary and Historical Paganism series

Paperback / softback

Description

It is said that Pagan traditions are the fastest-growing religious group in America.

Numbers are tricky to come by, but we know that contemporary Pagans report themselves as living in every American state, and in countries around the world.

This volume reviews the shifting landscape of current Pagan spirituality, the unique culture and needs which must be understood in order to engage with contemporary Pagans, and the implications for future leadership, including organizational models, training and educational needs.

The author has interviewed Pagan leaders about their own experiences and looks at data from the Pagan Engagement and Spiritual Support survey of 2016 to answer questions such as What does "ministry" mean for Pagans?

Who do Pagans turn to for spiritual support? Who ought to be providing that support? Do Pagans want leaders who are trained for ministry?

What kind of training do they need, and how do they get it?

If you are a Pagan who wishes to support others in these ways, you will find here a framework for your own work, including stories and examples.

If you are an interfaith minister, a chaplain, or a spiritual leader who finds that Pagans are intersecting with your work, you will become acquainted with the culture of this old-but-new spirituality.

If you are an educator, may you find Constellated Ministry useful in teaching seminarians and students of religious studies.
