Excerpt from The Minister and the Community
Let us acknowledge at the out set that in our time we have been trying to unfrock the ministerial profession, literally and metaphor ically. We are afraid of the frock, we are afraid of the Sign, we are afraid of the touch of professional ism It is a characteristic of our time that we wish to combine all things without differentiation in one single thing that we call life.

This book presents an in-depth exploration of the complex role of a minister within their community, examining the contrasting views of their position throughout history. One perspective advocates for ministers to remain detached, emphasizing their spiritual responsibilities and shunning worldly affairs. The opposing view stresses the importance of ministers actively engaging in community life, advocating for societal progress and embodying the teachings of their faith. The author delves into the challenges and opportunities of both approaches, discussing the impact of the minister's presence and conduct on their community, and offering insights into the complexities of maintaining a balance between spiritual devotion and social engagement.
