"Our goal is the Kingdom, the completion of God's creative vision,
and we are God's hands in bringing that vision to pass, " wrote
Urban Holmes in Spirituality for Ministry, originally published in
1982. But, Holmes warned, ministers who are not rooted in the
intimate knowledge of God will have a hard time being God's hands
and serving the congregation well.
This timeless and still timely book examines the spiritual base
that allows ordained clergy to be interpreters of God's message and
symbol-bearers of God's presence in their congregations. Based on
interviews with clergy from many denominations, Holmes explores the
role of spirituality in the vocation of the ordained, the classic
virtues of poverty, chastity, and obedience, the place of worship,
prayer, and parish piety, and finally the necessity of spiritual
companionship in the life of the clergy.
