xiv, 169 pages ; pbk ; 23.5 cm. While the Church of England provides practical resources for clergy as they make changes in their 'careers', very little theological reflection has been done around this subject. Not all change is welcome and driving factors differ from those in secular employment. This important volume explores key questions to consider at points of transition.
