From Celibate Catholic Priest to Married Protestant Minister:
Shepherding in Greener Pastures describes a previously unstudied
population of celibate Catholic priests who left the priesthood and
eventually became married Protestant ministers. Stephen Fichter
alternates from narrative to descriptive as he follows the lives of
three of his study participants before, during, and after their
dual transition. The descriptive sections include a history of
religiously motivated celibacy and a review of the four leading
forerunners in the field of Catholic clergy research. This
scholarly study is the first time that these transitional clerics
have candidly explained their difficult journeys of discernment.
Religion, love, loss, and commitment are all analyzed in the
context of this unique group of men, and the profiles in this book
are memorable not only for the richness of their content, but
also-and maybe most importantly-for their humanity. Lessons can be
drawn for all people, especially those who have ever suffered a
mid-life crisis.
