The Contemplative Minister : Learning to lead from the still centre Paperback / softback
by Ian Cowley
Part of the The Contemplative Minister series
Paperback / softback
Description
There was a time where Christian ministry offered the opportunity to spend your life in the study of God's word, in reading and reflection, in prayer and sermon preparation, and in the quiet and faithful pastoral care of a community.
The world has changed, and with it most of the expectations that govern church appointments.
These days there are very few jobs in full time ministry which do not require a heroic combination of stamina, multi-tasking and change management.
This book gives practical advice on how to nurture faith and a sense of calling amid the hectic life that is ministry today.
Drawing on his experience of developing and leading training programmes in this area, Ian Cowley assesses the stresses and pressures of the job and shows how to grow into being a 'contemplative minister', prioritising a relationship of deepening love with God.
He also offers guidance on leading others into that same relationship, without your own spiritual life running dry.
