Download or read book Planning Sabbaticals written by Robert C. Saler and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sabbaticals are becoming increasingly common practice in congregations, and while there are many books on helping pastors prepare for their time away, there are no texts that approach the experience with the congregation in mind, from start to finish. This guide for congregations and their pastors draws on nearly two decades of wisdom from the Lily Endowment Clergy Renewal Program and helps draw the conversation away from a pastor-centric model and towards a holistic congregational framework for thinking about how the entire community can benefit from a pastor’s sabbatical.
