What kind of minister are you?

Explores 5 images of ministry: wounded healer, servant leader, political mystic, practical theologian, enslaved liberator. These are to be considered, along with the "traditional images" (priest, pastor, prophet, etc.) in the development of a personal style, vision, or theology of ministry. The author is president of the Iliff School of Theology in Denver. Excellent resource for those seeking clarity about their call.
