No time to hand off the responsibility to someone else. Time only to pray and go. And be God's stand-in in time of crisis. Exactly when the ugliest, harshest blows fall, the call goes out for a pastor. Probably you. You've been there before. You know you'll be there again when the newborn dies. You'll be summoned when the blood had barely dried following a suicide. Your phone will ring when the marriage bond is stretched taut.You'll be there, but will you be able to redeem the crisis? This book contains the insights and wisdom of pastors and counselors who have answered the call into crisis. They've been there many times. And they know what to do. And when. And how. Here's their best counsel on the nine problems pastors identified as the most difficult and prevalent calls into crisis. This is the eighteenth volume of The Leadership Library." -- BOOK JACKET.
Serving faithfully in one's current congregation while simultaneously going through the secretive process of looking for a new position is one of the most difficult dilemmas of any pastor's life. How should one respond to 'getting the itch'? Where is the line between keeping confidentialities and presenting one's credentials in the most favourable and realistic light? What are the consequences of being an active candidate? Antal's companionable approach stimulates theological and spiritual reflection on matters of the most practical consequence, promotes self-understanding, and enhances ministry.
