Sondra Wheeler examines the personal disciplines and spiritual practices that help sustain safe ministry, including the essential practices of prayer and spiritual accountability. She equips ministers to abide by ethical standards when they come under pressure and offers practical strategies for navigating challenges. The author also stresses personal vulnerability and "unselfish self-care." 0aClergyxProfessional ethics95272 0aClergyxConduct of life95273 0aPastoral theology9386 0aCharacter95274 0aChurch group work93976 0aChurch work93216  2ddccBK  00102ddc4070aNPTSbNPTScBKd2022-11-01eDonated l0o241.641 WHEpNPTS005198r2022-11-01 00:00:00w2022-11-01yBK
