Sustaining a Healthy Ministerial Workplace
This book focuses on eight critical elements of a healthy ministerial workplace, illustrated by stories and theological reflection of eight experienced lay ecclesial ministers. The book includes a model for using the stories for professional development and an assessment tool for examining the reader’s workplace. Together, they offer a pathway for effective, positive, and sustainable change. It is often easier to describe the problem than figure out what to do about it. This book does both. It emerges from the research of Dr. Barabra Sutton on burnout in ministry. She was surprised to learn that burnout was not the issue, but disengagement—and disengagement was the byproduct of unhealthy workplaces. The authors invited eight experienced ministers to develop stories from their work that illustrated the elements of a healthy workplace: community, values, vocation, fairness, workload, control, reward, and financial well-being. While the stories themselves often recount moments of heartbreak familiar to ministers, they provide theological interpretation that returns the emphasis to the transformative power of each element.
bell hooks’ Engaged Pedagogy for the 21st Century Classroom
bell hooks—feminist scholar, teacher, activist—implored instructors to see the classroom as a “radical space of possibility” where students and teachers work as partners in the pursuit of education as “collective liberation” from structures of domination. hooks’ call takes on more urgency today, as oppressive and dominant ideologies continue to perpetuate racial, economic, gender, and other social inequities both within the classroom and society at large. Through critical commentary reflections on classroom experiences and original teaching activities, the authors in bell hooks' Engaged Pedagogy for the 21st Century Classroom: Radical Spaces of Possibility provide inspiration for teachers with the will to learn and the courage to teach about intersecting systems of oppression in meaningful, radical ways. The goal of this collection is to carry forth hooks’ legacy of education as freedom and to serve as a guide that renews faith that “teaching to transgress” racist, sexist, and classist systems of oppression is not only possible, but is a first step in transforming the world.
