Pondering Anabaptist understandings of such images of the pastor as shepherd, teacher, healer, prophet as well as such issues as leadership, authority, ecclesiology, improvisation, and much more, the authors both affirm the resources for pastoral ministry found in the Anabaptist tradition and suggest areas for growth. They value, for example, the concern for servanthood often found in Anabaptist views of pastoring even as they seek to regain for pastors an authority sometimes lost when servant leadership is overemphasized.

This volume will be useful to those with Anabaptist roots interested in rigorous reflection on ministry as understood within their tradition- and also to those rooted in other traditions intrigued by what can be learned from the unique vantage point offered by Anabaptism.

On any given Sunday morning, a vast arragy of feelings, questions, nopes and fears come with the congregants as they gather in the church pews. can a sermon begin to tough even a few of these? These sermons reveal that when the preacher draws deeply upon the story of the faith and enters imaginatively into biblical text, sparks leap from ancient story to life now lived. of course, not all questions are quickly answered, not all hopes immediately realized, but new possibilities arise, mercy and grace quiet the struggling spirits.
