“Wiest and Smith here invite clergy into a stimulating conversation about professional ethics. With real cases, solid theological-ethical reflection, and wise moral counsel, they illuminate an impressive array of issues. They resist easy moralisms and lofty generalities as they examine truth-telling in recommendation letters, boundaries in counseling relationships, fund-raising ethics, public invocations, and much, much more. This is an impressively useful book.”
“With wisdom borne from years of their own ministries in seminary and parish, Wiest and Smith have given us not only solid insight into issues of integrity in ministry, but into the complex and theological nature of the profession of ministry itself.”
