Church Abuse of Clergy

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A clergy mentor once confided, ‘I am burnt out and wish I could leave the ministry, but my family will need retirement funds to exist.’ In less than a year, this friend died from cancer. Ah, to have had Fowler’s book to fathom my friend’s painful journey. I would have gathered clergy friends to read this precise, heartfelt work, which knows a pastor and their family are one. Prevention of ‘clergy abuse’ is the work of a loving gathering.”
