| Description: | EVALUATING, MISSION, PLANNING-MISSION AND LONG-RANGE PLANNING… Includes Leader Guide In this video presentation, Roy Oswald makes the case for clergy sabbaticals as a way of retaining congregational vitality. Oswald does not suggest that this request for renewal leave be based on the notion that a congregation is doing its minister a favor. Rather, he appeals to the long-term self-interest of the congregation. A congregation developing a sound sabbataical polilcy lis similar to a company protecting its primary assets. Another analogy would be a basketball couach who knkows that she or he will get the most out of a certain quality player if this athlete onlkypays 30 rather that 45 minutes a game. The team seems to win more games when the coach sticks to this strategy. Why You Should Give Your Pastor a Sabbatical was develped for congregational leaders. It has two parts - the first part gibes a general overview of sabbaticals and recommendations for a sabbatical trhytm. Also contained in part one is the first of six points made in support of renewal leave. This first point deals with longer pastorates - how beneficial they can be to congregations, some of their pitfalls, and how some of these pitfalls can be addressed by a three-month sabbatical every four years. In part two, the remaining five reasons for establishing a sabbatical policy are developed. Several of these deal with the long-term benefits to the congregation. |
