What are the spiritual resources for ministers?
Posted by tom | Oct 31, 2009Another quote from Gordon MacDonald's presentation on The Changing Face of Ministry: Engaging All Ages in the Mission of the Church.
What are the spiritual resources for ministers? What prevents them from becoming dull, sullen, lukewarm bureaucrats, people who have many projects, plans, and appointments but who have lost their heart somewhere in the midst of their activities? What keeps ministers vital, alive, energetic and full of zeal? What allows them to preach and teach, counsel and celebrate with a continuing sense of wonder, joy, gratitude, and praise? -- Henri Nouwen, The Living Reminder
A number of people have found Henri Nouwen's book The Living Reminder a helpful resource in addressing these questions. Anyone have a copy I can borrow?
