We Have This Ministry The Heart of the Pastor's Vocation

What does it mean to be a pastor? Who better to answer that question than two of the most highly respected pastors of our time. Samuel Proctor and Gardner Taylor have joined to share their insights on how to be a pastor who has integrity and character and who embraces the many diverse roles God requires for shepherding a flock. Together Proctor and Taylor unravel the mysteries of the pastor as intercessor, teacher, counselor, and administrator and reveal the pastor's role in working with families in crisis, political realities, and the quest for community. Chapters take up the issues of The Pastor's Commission; The Pastor as Teacher; The Pastor as Intercessor; The Pastor as Administrator; The Pastor as Counselor; The Pastor and the Family in Crisis; The Pastor and Diversity, Liberation, and Community; and The Pastor and Political Realities. "We Have This Ministry" should be on the shelf of every seminary and church library.Proctor, Samuel D. is the author of 'We Have This Ministry The Heart of the Pastor's Vocation', published 1996 under ISBN 9780817012489 and ISBN 0817012486.
