Description
This article helps the reader understand the difference between the terms "covocational" and "bivocational" and why the differences matter. The authors believe that using the term covocational, which means "with," allows the pastor to see him- or herself as having one integrated life rather than two separate jobs and that doing so changes the way pastors view their identity.
