Every six minutes a handful of parish members (often no more than a
half dozen) bully, intimidate, threaten and blackmail successful
pastors into resigning their ministries. The wounds they inflict on
these pastors and their families remain with them for the balance
of their lives. Congregational leaders that stand with the pastors
are often attacked and left wounded from the same trauma. This is a
book of healing. It is written for senior pastors, music ministers,
lay professionals and lay leaders that are suffering with the
wounds of a sheep attack. The author examines the depth of the pain
that the antagonists are able to inflict. He brings forth the
damaging effects of Chronic Stress, Emotional Memories, Burnout and
Post Traumatic Stress Injury. Based on the experiences of over 200
clergy of virtually every branch of Christianity and Jewish Rabbis
he describes the methods they have utilized to heal and move
forward with their lives. This is the third book in the series on
"sheep attacks" by The Reverend Doctor Dennis Maynard. The others
are: "When Sheep Attack" and "Preventing A Sheep Attack."
This is the second book in the "sheep attack series." After
publishing the best selling "When Sheep Attack" the conversation
around a handful of antagonists attacking pastors and dividing
congregations has increased. This follow up book expands the
original 25 case studies to over 200 including clergy of virtually
every denomination, music ministers, other lay professionals and
lay leaders. This book is needed because educating denominational
lay leaders and healthy parish leaders on this behavior is the
first line of defense. In this book, Doctor Maynard exposes the
essential staff catalyst that fuels an attack on pastors. He also
lists a six point plan that has proven successful in stopping sheep
attacks. The book is written in a format that can be easily adapted
to vestry and board study. Examples of steps parish boards need to
take to assist with clergy health and wellness are included. There
are also examples of non-triangulation covenants every vestry and
board should adopt. Other topics included: Defining leadership
styles, Sabbaticals a two-edged sword, The quicksand around parish
day schools, Why it is inevitable someone will be ejected from the
congregational system after a sheep attack and others.
