A collection of essays and presentations given at the "Good Ministry" conference sponsored by the Fund for Theological Education in January of 2002. The conference participants represented theological schools that had received grants from Lilly Endowment Inc. for projects aimed at strengthening congregational leadership. Congregations will find these papers useful for discussing in pastor-parish relations committees, in Sunday School classes, in pastoral search committees, etc. Discussion groups might invite participants to write their own description of "good ministry".

This book is OUT OF PRINT as off Spring, 2005.
