A minister is a pastor, a prophet, a theologian, a colleague…and a vulnerable human being. What does it mean to operate in these many, and often overlapping modes? And how much of her/his humanity and vulnerability does a minister expose in his/her ministry?
These are the challenges examined in Steve's book: Troubadour and Poet—The Magical Ministry of Ric Masten. This workshop is an outgrowth of conversations between Steve and the Rev. Ric Marsten as it looks at how Ric’s alternative, troubadour ministry informs those of us who minister in the more traditional settings of congregation and community.
Using some of the books chapters as backdrop, this workshop offers structured and personally focused opportunities for colleagues to examine the many meanings of ministry.
