To engender a respect for Self-Care in both Pastors and Parishioners

Care

We have failed to develop a healthy respect of the self and of Self-Care.

This lack of understanding of how to care for the self, fostered by a pervasive modern form of Gnosticism that had compartmentalized our being into 'spiritual' and 'non-spiritual' components, has led to a lot of self-neglect in pastors.  Abuse and misuse of our physiology is too easily "justified by our cause".  The idea that it is a "high calling" and therefore should be empowered.

There is a pervasive but erroneous belief that because the work is of a "spiritual" nature, only spiritual resources can help you cope with its stress. Never before has there been as critical a need to pay attention to 'clergy health' as in these times of high stress and anxiety.
