When the Spirit moves

Sinopse

"Dozens of resources help churches seeking new pastoral leadership, but what about the ministers who are seeking a specific ministry call? How can a pastor discern when to stay or where to go? Denominational leaders Riley Walker and Marcia Patton begin this practical and spiritual guide with the conviction that it is Godþs Spirit that guides ministry transition. Therefore, the transition process is essentially and uniquely spiritual, as ministers evaluate their current ministry settings and consider new contexts. The book does not offer a specific course but a plan for the journey. The authors identify: common areas of concern; frequent pitfalls and missteps; oft-traveled routes to a successful transition. When the Spirit Moves includes practical resources such as: personal skill assessments; an overview of the typical search and call process; sample interview questions; best practices for ending oneþs service with integrity and grace" -- Publisher description.
