- Synopsis
- Each year, hundreds of newly ordained pastors enter their first congregations, unsure whether seminary training has truly prepared them for the day-to-day work of parish ministry. Author and professor Paul C. Clayton, D. Min., guides new ministers through the growth processes of parish ministry in Letters to Lee-Mentoring the New Minister, just published by the Alban Institute. Clayton is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and Special Assistant to the President at Andover Newton Theological School in Newton Centre, MA, where he teaches a course on "Practicalities of Parish Ministry." In Letters to Lee, he draws on his years in ministry using a unique epistolary format-from an older, experienced pastor to a novice. He addresses issues such as preparing for weddings, funerals, and baptisms; planning education, evangelism, and stewardship programs; growing spiritually; developing a leadership style; and maintaining personal and professional boundaries.
