Everyone in-or associated with-pastoral ministry knows of the heavy
toll on pastors' personal and professional lives. Surveys commonly
report time pressures, stress, overextension, loneliness and
isolation, marital and family difficulties, spiritual dryness, and
feelings of loss of meaning. Covenants and Care takes these hard
realities into account as the authors, a team of experts in
ministry and the Bible, offer skills for the long haul. They employ
the Old Testament notion of covenant and ask ministers to enter a
covenant both for their own self-care and as a key to framing and
enlivening their care for others in ministry. True-to-life stories
show how biblically-based covenantal relationships with clear
boundaries promote healthy relationships, and how they are integral
to faithful personal and pastoral care. The authors' sensible yet
sensitive approach offers practical help for the minister's
self-care while providing tools for meeting such challenges as
conflict in the congregation, issues of sexual ethics, questions of
power and conscience, and the dynamics of spirituality.
