That stimulated prayer, concern and commitment on my part. There must be persons within each church, some family perhaps, with whom ministers can pray and talk, expressing their fears, doubts and difficulties. There must be those who will own' ministers, loving them, binding up their wounds, comforting the family, or ministering to a minister's singleness. The minister cannot share with his assistant, as the assistant is only there temporarily to be trained. The assistant cannot share with the supervisor who is the assistant's boss and will be writing reports and references.
Many congregations have no concept of care.
But equally, there are many men and women within those congregations that are able to care, but afraid to offer. The first move may have to come from the minister. God will call us to account for our failure to minister to our ministers, and will call ministers to account for their failure to allow the fellowship to minister to them. The Lord's carers Jesus had his favourites. It was well known who his special friends were.
