"I can only shake my head in the face of the irony that all too
often the very place where we look for life and health, the very
place where we expect to nurture and deepen a loving relationship
with God, can cause so many to experience the exact opposite." So
remarks author Lynne Baab in this timely and discerning examination
of burnout in congregations. What is burnout? What causes
congregation volunteers to burn out? Why is unpaid service
sometimes life giving and other times just another frantic
commitment? How can congregations become oases of peace and nurture
while still carrying out their mission and ministry? How can we
recognize holy moments in the presence of God if we are moving so
fast that life passes by us in a blur? How can leaders make
congregations healthy places to serve? After reflecting on these
important questions and dozens of interviews with congregation
volunteers, Baab suggests, "We must not fear burnout; instead, we
need to do a better job coming alongside people as they experience
burnout, and help them figure out what they are learning."
