Every clergyperson has a persona: the public role he or she
assumes in performing ministry for a congregation or organization.
For example, the roles of preaching, pastoring, and church
administration "go with the territory" in most congregations. These
tasks are part of the employment contract.
Every clergyperson also has an anima: the true inner self,
reflecting deeply held ideals of conduct. Because this inner core
of being controls how a pastor lives out the details of ministry,
anima determines how effectively he or she fits the needs of a
particular congregation or ministry role. For example, a minister
who relates poorly to youth is seldom productive as a youth
minister.
Listing twelve elements of the pastor's anima mix, Herb Miller
asserts that clergy are effective to the extent that the conscious
and unconscious choices they make in developing each of these
elements fit the needs of the congregation or church organization
they serve. In Leadership Is the Key, he offers practical ways to
influence these choices and maximize effectiveness in ministry.
