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.
A somewhat eclectic selection of essays which gives more of the impression of a festschrift (but for whom?) than an organised thematic piece of work. The essays are mostly good, the earlier ones generally better than the latter ones. Each one seems to be the result of a particular piece of research of a recently completed PhD which gives them specificity but not always generality. I think I would have preferred a more focussed book. One of the weaker ones in the Explorations series.
