Part-Time Is Plenty

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Jeffrey MacDonald has written a parable in this book: taking assumptions about the church—and full-time clergy serving in it—and inviting the reader to reconsider what we think we know. MacDonald challenges the idea that part-time clergy service is bad news for congregations and the ordained ministers who serve them and offers examples and insights that clearly show the opposite. Part-time ministry is an opportunity for creativity and focusing on what matters most: sharing the love of God with the world. This is a very timely and extremely important look at how we are reimagining ministry across the church, and it is good news for those of us looking for signs of church renewal and revitalization.”
