Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful sermon on the plight of veteran Methodist ministers who, after a life of service to the Church, were left in poverty and despair. The author, a former Methodist minister, draws upon his own experiences and those of his colleagues to expose the systemic neglect that led to the destitution of so many. The book reveals the financial struggles and social isolation faced by superannuated ministers, who were often cast aside once they were no longer able to perform their duties. The author argues that this neglect was not only a moral failing but also a betrayal of the Church's mission to care for its own. Through poignant anecdotes and historical research, this book sheds light on a forgotten chapter in Methodist history. It challenges readers to confront the Church's responsibility to provide for its aging ministers and offers a powerful indictment of the institutionalized mistreatment of those who have dedicated their lives to serving others.
