This article is part of a series of helpful resources for clergy emerging from the Notre Dame University, Wellbeing at Work project, “Flourishing in Ministry”: A national, longitudinal study of the well-being of clergy in North America. The Wesleyan Church is a partnering denomination in this study.
This article addresses the importance of having a strong personal “back stage” of support for the “front stage” of public ministry. For more information about this project, see The Wellbeing at Work website.
