Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report places before the clergy, bishops, priests and deacons, and the whole Church, guidelines for the professional conduct of all those called to ordained ministry. These are offered by clergy to clergy, but they have significance for the laity to whom the clergy minister and with whom they share the challenge of mission. The Guidelines are not a legal code, but the beginning of an ongoing conversation in which ministers and those to whom they minister need to engage.

This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the Guidelines for the Professional Conduct of the Clergy is a revised and extended version of the first edition, which was published in 2003 by the Convocations of the Clergy. It is not a formal code of conduct, but a reflection by the Convocations on the words of the Ordinal, addressed to the clergy at the time of their ordination to the ministry of the Church. It draws on the wide experience of the clergy who belong to the General Synod, with contributions from the House of Bishops and the House of Laity. The Guidelines are offered as a means of sharing the fruits of accrued wisdom and experience with colleagues, especially those beginning a new life as ordained ministers, and with all engaged in the mission and ministry of the Church. This new edition takes account of significant developments since 2003, including the publication of a new Ordinal, the new Clergy Discipline Measure, new terms of service for the clergy via Common Tenure, and most recently the comprehensive work which is being undertaken throughout the Church with regard to Safeguarding.

Book excerpt: This highly readable book explains the scope and detail of the newly revised Guidelines for the professional conduct of the clergy, which shape and define how clergy should act and behave. The book brings together a number of experts in the field, who draw on the Ordinal (as the basis of the Guidelines), writing engagingly on key elements in the life of clergy today. Paula Gooder wrestles with the exhilaratingly tricky question, ‘What would Jesus do?’ John Pritchard responds with characteristic humour and wisdom to the challenge of remaining ‘white hot in our desire for God year after year’. Robert Innes draws on his unexpected call to the ministry while meditating on Jesus’ self-sacrificial pastoral leadership. Paul Butler writes with authority and compassion about the complexities of safeguarding. Jamie Harrison reflects on the humility, cost and joy of ‘telling the story of God’s love’. Russ Parker finds that blessing others means being vulnerable and empathetic to the pain common to us all. Stephen Cherry offers witty yet powerful insights on giving leadership. Kate Bruce writes captivatingly on imagination as indispensable to the life of faith. Magdalen Smith illuminates the creative tension of living faithfully in public and private. David Walker assures us that the very wounds we bear from our journeys so far enable us to minister to others. ‘Faithful relationships are fundamental to maintaining and improving the life of the Church. It is my fervent desire that increasing trust, particularly that which flows from trustworthy clergy, will transform God’s world.’ Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, from the Foreword

Book Synopsis Confidentiality and Clergy by : William W. Rankin
Download or read book Confidentiality and Clergy written by William W. Rankin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a wonderfully readable exposition into the thicket of clerical ethics beneath which lurks the constant potential of legal action in an evermore litigious society. Rankin leaves no doubt that there are no quick solutions, but he masterfully weaves a fabric of the ethical issues (often laces with agonizing contradiction), the evolution of applicable legal principles, and a practical methodology for coping with unsettling--and enraging litigation." --Ivan Weinberg, Esq., Partner, Weinberg, Campbell & Stone, Sausalito, California "Rankin's excellent book is a long overdue resource for clergy and lay professionals; a pastoral and prophetic account with wide appeal and deep insight into the ethics of professional ministry. Legal, ethical, and theological dimensions are addressed with sensibility and integrity." --Fredrica Harris Thompsett, Academic Dean and Professor of Church History, Episcopal Divinity School "A wonderful witness to why the Church's theology and ethics ought to reclaim the rich experience and real sagacity of its parish clergy. The issue is confidentiality, and the resources (or lack of them) for clergy who are confronted with whether to maintain or divulge it. Here is a scholarly and sensitive treatment of a much too-neglected, too-ignored, and ill-informed matter which is of enormous importance to clergy of all sorts." --Professor Harmon L. Smith, Divinity School, Duke University
Book Synopsis Managing Clergy Lives by : Nigel Peyton
Download or read book Managing Clergy Lives written by Nigel Peyton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Clergy Lives gives a unique insight into the everyday lives of Church of England parish priests. It examines how men and women priests manage their many and everyday commitments to God, the Church and their personal relationships. In a fast-changing world, Managing Clergy Lives shows how the vocational commitment of priests to their ordinal vows remains steadfast. For today's clergy, the ordained life means obedience, sacrifice and a loss of intimacy, embodied in spiritual self-discipline and the ultimate dedication of body and soul to God. Written by an Anglican Bishop (Peyton) in Dundee and a Senior Lecturer from Lancaster University (Gatrell), Managing Clergy Lives opens a window onto clergy households in terms of personal relationships, spirituality and work-home balance. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 46 Area/Rural Deans, it reports their everyday experiences using their own words. The book reveals the stories behind the enduring commitment within the Church and gets behind the scenes in order to understand the staying power of men and women who are 'becoming priests' across a lifetime.

Book excerpt: At a time when concerns for misconduct, abuse scandals, and liability have brought pastoral ministers under greater scrutiny than ever before and have threatened to undermine their morale, Just Ministry offers a positive perspective on the vocation of pastoral ministry and wise ethical guidance to foster integrity in ministry. This is a helpful training and evaluative resource for those involved in pastoral ministry as ordained clergy, religious, or lay ministers. Key concepts are illustrated through case studies and practical strategies for acquiring and developing virtues, as well as preventative education for pastoral ministry in avoiding misconduct. By examining the professional aspects of a ministerial vocation, this book provides a guide for ministers to be accountable in offering their pastoral service with expert knowledge and skill and with good moral character. It builds upon a theology of vocation, a covenantal model of ministry, and a vision of professional identity. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Consultancy Skills for Mission and Ministry by : David Dadswell
Download or read book Consultancy Skills for Mission and Ministry written by David Dadswell and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consultancy is increasingly being used to support mission and to help church leaders and workers in the challenges they face in their work. Helping churches and workers understand their situation and develop effective strategies demands skilful consultants who can handle issues of context and theology, the characteristics of voluntary sector organisations, and mission in a post-modern world. This guide to being a church consultant offers rigorous, practical consultancy theory and tools as well as pointing to a rich range of methods and models for further investigation. By integrating the insights of practical theory, organizational studies, the social sciences and a range of helping skills, consultants will be able to support those who are leading change in churches in processes which are more explicit and carefully thought through than is often the case. This book encourages consultants to develop their own model and practice built on a healthy cycle of sound theory, evaluated practice and thoughtful feedback.

Book Synopsis The Pattern of Our Calling by : David Hoyle
Download or read book The Pattern of Our Calling written by David Hoyle and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ministry has always changed, adapting to time and place. But the pace of change has increased. There is a greater need for success and less tolerance of diversity. A few high-achievers hold up their heads whilst others struggle or wonder how to make sense of what feels like failure. Our theology is impoverished and we are so quick to adopt new models that we have forgotten our own past. David Hoyle explores the changing theologies of ministry during the church’s history with the aim of challenging the lack of theological reflection in some of today’s results-driven understanding of ministry that seems more influenced by the business world than by Christian theology and tradition. Setting out to explain why theologians said what they said about ministry, why it might matter, and why it might be exciting, Hoyle covers nearly two thousand years of theological reflection from the Didache to Michael Ramsey and current writers, and provides a synthesis not found anywhere else. The book offers realistic sustenance to practitioners struggling with the new demands on clergy.
Book Synopsis Church Reform and Leadership of Change by : Harald Askeland
Download or read book Church Reform and Leadership of Change written by Harald Askeland and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reforms and processes of change have become an increasingly pervasive characteristic of European Protestant churches in the last fifteen to twenty years. Driven by perceptions of crises, such as declining membership rates, dwindling finances, decreasing participation in church rituals, and less support of traditional church doctrine, but also changes of governance of religion more generally, many churches feel compelled to explore new forms of operations, activities, and organizational structures. What is the inner dynamic and nature of these processes? This book explores this question by applying perspectives from organizational studies and bringing them into dialogue with ecclesiological categories, seeking to provide a richer understanding of the field of processes of change in churches. Among the questions asked are: What are the implications--organizationally and ecclesiologically--of viewing reform as a church practice, and how does this relate to much more comprehensive waves of public sector reforms? How is church leadership configured and exercised, how is democratic leadership related to the authority of ordained ministry, and how does leadership take on new forms in the context of churches? And how do churches incorporate organizational practices of planned change and renewal, such as social entrepreneurship?

Book Synopsis Spirituality in Ministerial Formation by : Andrew Mayes
Download or read book Spirituality in Ministerial Formation written by Andrew Mayes and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a ground-breaking study into a crucial area of theological education. It traces the origin and evolution of the formation model of training and identifies what difference this paradigm makes to present practice. It uncovers significant and surprising functions of prayer in the formational and learning process as discovered in empirical research (informed by theological and psychological perspectives on prayer) among a sample of newly ordained clergy and tutors. The practical implications of the research are identified, offering creative ideas for a renewed understanding and praxis of the role of prayer in learning. This is essential reading for theological students and teachers alike, and calls for a clearer articulation of a spirituality of education as needed by our present culture and context.
Download or read book Vicar written by Alan Bartlett and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the resources of Classic Anglicanism, Vicar offers a clear theological vision for the future. For thirty years, the Church has been talking about the oncoming challenges of providing ordained ministers to lead and enable local churches. Now long overdue structural change is really happening: but those at the sharp end – ‘vicars’ – are often bewildered and demoralized. This book celebrates the tradition of English Anglican ordained pastoral ministry; it also affirms the value of vicars’ ministry and way of life, and the great gift they have for relating to our communities and churches. The ‘vicar’ (parish priest, pastor, minister) still leads people – those who ‘come to church’ and those who don’t – in prayer and praise, cares for them in their sufferings and rejoices with them in their joys. This deep wisdom has sustained the Church for centuries. Yet, the questions must be asked: how can we be better equipped to make prudent decisions about the way church ministry has to evolve now? How can we meet the evident need in our parishes for an institutional church?

Book excerpt: This fourth book in the authoritative BACP Legal Resources for Counsellors & Psychotherapists series provides practical examples and applications of the law as it applies to therapists in the many different contexts of their work.

It is also important reading for all those studying counselling, psychotherapy or clinical psychology.
