서명/저자: Restoring the balance between doing and being - [e-book] : The functional pastor and Adrian van Kaams formative spirituality

초록/해제: 요약 : The concern of this study has to do with identity formation of pastors that is shaped by what they do rather than the integrity found in being a child of the Creator God. Adrian van Kaam identifies this mode of life and ministry that focuses on doing versus being as functionalism. Due to its damaging influence on the pastor's soul, the problem investigated was the obstacle of functionalism in pastors' lives that forms self-identity and ministry praxis in a negative and a deformative way.

초록/해제: 요약 : The purpose of the research was to determine if the online intervention designed to provide education and to give opportunity to deepen the practice of key spiritual disciplines strengthened the soul health for the twenty-one pastors throughout the country who participated in a twelve-week interactive emphasis to restore a balanced functional mode of ministry presence.

초록/해제: 요약 : The findings suggest that those who found time for silence and solitude in their ministry context had a better balance between their ministry functioning and a healthy self-identity formation, moving from a functional style of ministry to a more transcendent model of ministry.
