초록/해제  
요약 : Ministry as a profession has changed significantly in recent years, suggesting that clergy need increased professional support to sustain excellence in ministry. A systematic approach to understanding how clergy learn the work of ministry throughout their career span provided a lens through which this study addressed pastoral development needs. The following questions framed this developmental approach: (1) What is the nature of the ministry as a career? Is it developmental in nature? (2) Are there differences in clergy professional development tasks and learning needs at different times during their career paths? (3) What implications does considering the ministry as a developmental process have for sustaining excellence throughout the clergy career?
초록/해제  
요약 : Theories of vocation, career and life development, and literature on clergy careers concur that people continue to learn and develop throughout their lives. In some careers, there appear to be career stages, which may build on each other and recycle when triggered by change. Until this study, this developmental perspective has not been applied to clergy careers, which heretofore were described in functional and stylistic terms.
초록/해제  
요약 : Surveys of 378 American Baptist clergy and interviews with 17 clergy inform this study's findings. A number of key influences were found to profoundly impact pastors' learning and development throughout their careers. Four developmental periods were identified that include specific experiences and tasks.
초록/해제  
요약 : The study found that ministry is a complex career requiring continuing learning and development to address emerging needs in a rapidly changing world. Clergy need to develop skills to address ministry tasks and to balance competing demands of an endless workload, as well as to set appropriate boundaries on their work. Clergy rely on both skill development and meaning making to shape their learning throughout their careers. Pastors benefit greatly from interactions with other clergy in making sense of their work, evaluating its effectiveness, and developing new strategies for addressing emerging concerns. The drive to integrate intellect and spirit and the quest for creativity strongly influence clergy learning and development. A discussion of the study's findings includes recommendations for theological training, for denominational bodies, and for pastors, as well as suggestions for future research.
