Clergy suffer from certain health issues at a rate higher than the
general population. Why are pastors in such poor health? And what
can be done to help them step into the abundant life God desires
for them? Although anecdotal observations about poor clergy health
abound, concrete data from multiple sources supporting this claim
hasn't been made accessible--until now. Duke's Clergy Health
Initiative (CHI), a major, decade-long research project, provides a
true picture of the clergy health crisis over time and demonstrates
that improving the health of pastors is possible. Bringing together
the best in social science and medical research, this book
quantifies the poor health of clergy with theological engagement.
Although the study focused on United Methodist ministers, the
authors interpret CHI's groundbreaking data for a broad ecumenical
readership. In addition to physical health, the book examines
mental health and spiritual well-being, and suggests that
increasing positive mental health may prevent future physical and
mental health problems for clergy. Concrete suggestions tailored to
clergy are woven throughout the book.
