Clergy enter their calling for high-minded reasons, and for some more selfish reasons as well.
The same is true of lay members of congregations. These covert motivations can lead to conflict and dissatisfaction. Understanding how this process works enables clergy and lay persons to find realistic ways to meet their needs while at the same time moving forward to fulfil the congregation's mission. Clergy Families, Tangled and Triangled. Clergy husbands, clergy couples, working spouses, single ministers, even gays and lesbians in ministry enrich the tapestry of parsonage life.
