Reviews

The Methodist Church has been on a journey of increasing understanding about the need and benefits of improving the wellbeing of ministers. This includes ensuring church environments and work is safe and appropriate for our current understanding of safeguarding. This comprehensive and accessible guide has skilfully integrated these elements into a compelling agenda to help the whole church move forward in confidence and expectation.
*Tim Carter*

This is a book for those who desire to know God, to know themselves and to serve others. It offers a poetic and deeply biblical invitation into a deeper relationship with God, self and other as part of the transforming work that God is doing through those called to minister.

Writing out of her experience of 30 years as a Methodist minister and at the start of the British Methodist Church’s journey into mandatory supervision for its ordained ministers, Helen advocates the value of supervision in the maturation of those called into public ministry. She sees this process as one for which the body of Christ bears responsibility alongside the minister, offering a ‘shared agenda’ model of supervision that allows both the supervisee and the supervisor to bring issues for exploration.

Reflecting on the need for ministry to be accountable to those it serves, this book is a timely discussion of some of the spiritual, theological and ethical foundations for practising supervision in an ecclesial context.
*Jane Leach*
