Resilience in ministry: through effective self-care

“I consider health to be the capacity of ministers to be effective and efficient in ministry. It may not mean that a person has an absence of disease for some degree of ill health can contribute to effectiveness. Health needs to be maintained in the physical, mental, spiritual and environmental aspects of life not as an end in itself but a valuable resource for effectiveness, modelling and a contribution to the health of the community of faith.”
