The Living Ministry project is a ten-year programme by the Church
of England to better understand what enables clergy - stipendiary,
self-supporting and chaplains - to flourish, both in terms of
personal wellbeing and effectiveness in their role. This booklet is
the result of inviting clergy to reflect on their vocation and
ministry experience in five areas: * Calling to priesthood *
Institutional identity * Shape of ministry * Places and posts *
Tasks of ministry Drawing on this research, How Clergy Thrive
offers significant insights into the factors that allow priestly
ministry to flourish, the pressures and challenges that hinder it,
and the training programmes that will be needed for the future. It
gives an accurate portrayal of lived clergy experience in the
Church of England today that will be essential reading for all
involved in clergy selection,training and support, and will give
priests invaluable insights into the dynamics of their work.
This important and timely study is rooted in the belief that the
relationship between Judaism and Christianity is a gift of God to
the church to be received with gratitude, respect and care, so that
we may learn more fully about God's purposes for the world. It
offers a theological exploration of that relationship that is
mindful of the prejudice and persecution experienced by the Jewish
community throughout history, not least from the Christian church,
and is intended as antidote to antisemitism. Part One explores the
distinctive relationship between Judaism and Christianity and
traces its troubled history. Part Two considers critical
contemporary issues and reflects on how the Church should conduct
itself appropriately in its mission and evangelism, teaching and
preaching, ethical practices and attitudes towards Israel and
Palestine.
