The Parish is where the rubber hits the road.
The author offers free conversations with clergy. I have 50 years of parish experience and I am delighted to be of assistance to any clergy person of any denomination. I would be delighted to hold telephone conversations or email discussion with any clergy person struggling with how to make the parish ministry work. I had to figure a lot out, and the questions I was forced to ask are still good for the changing parish ministry. Call 206 407-9333.
