Assignment:
One of our required text readings is Working the Angles: The Shape of Pastoral Integrity by Eugene Peterson, that deals with the "angles" of pastoral integrity. As you reflect on pastors and other Christian servant-leaders in various contexts of ministry, including your own, what issues do you see as of most importance to these leaders (in the US or your location) in this new year? What specific issues of integrity are of most personal concern and practice to you in your particular context of ministry at this time?
(Just a reminder that you are not expected to read every individual's response to the above question, but only a representative number around four or five. Of course, you are welcome to read as many of your fellow cohorts posts as you wish. Please do respond to at least two other cohorts post with your own comments so they will have the opportunity for feedback from others.)
