This book offers an account of the moral foundations of pastoral
ethics and the underlying interpersonal dynamics that make the
practice of ministry powerful--and also morally dangerous, even for
those with the best of intentions. Sondra Wheeler examines the
personal disciplines and spiritual practices that help sustain safe
ministry, including the essential practices of prayer and spiritual
accountability. She equips ministers to abide by ethical standards
when they come under pressure and offers practical strategies for
navigating challenges. The author also stresses personal
vulnerability and "unselfish self-care."
