This volume contains over 50 case studies of real clergy/church situations: crises, problems, legal issues. Each study includes background to the situation, a description of the event, an analysis, and an evaluation by the person(s) involved suggesting how the situation might have been handled differently. This fascinating collection describes clergy life on the front lines. Pastors, seminary students, and even congregational staff and members will learn not only what other churches have faced, but what they might encounter ... and how to effectively deal with it.
