This book explores the shifting role of the minister in light of
the experiences of college men in the United States. Young men
frequently struggle to know what it means to be a man and doubt
that churches can supply the meaning and direction for which they
hunger. These men are not necessarily lost, but they do need a
certain kind of spiritual accompaniment that is likely to push many
ministers outside of postures and practices with which they have
grown comfortable. This interdisciplinary work draws together
feminist and masculinist theories, contemporary practices in campus
ministry, recent literature on religious deconversion and
individual interviews with college men in order to argue for new
ways amid the practice of ministry. This work invites ministers to
become more apophatic—to grow comfortable with moving away from
clarity and to adopt ungrasping postures of ministry that attend to
the unfolding theology of the individual. This repositions campus
ministers to support young adults from a range of spiritual
commitments. Disaffiliating Ministry invites ministers to eliminate
wasteful ministerial habits, to explore new ministry practices and
to enjoy the freedom of accompanying young men in processes of
leaving behind attitudes and actions that cease to be life giving
while deepening in faith, courage and responsibility for others.
