Críticas:

'I immensely enjoyed reading A Clergy Husband's Survival Guide. It is very human, forthright and practical. The book certainly resonates with issues which I've encountered, and its questions and challenges apply not only to clergy husbands, but also to their wives, the parish, the diocese and to the Church as a whole. A much needed book.' --Canon Beaumont Stevenson, Pastoral Care Advisor, Diocese of Oxford

'I would have no hesitation in recommending A Clergy Husband's Survival Guide. It will be a great tool for clergy couples to use. I found the insights perceptive and broad based, but not judgemental.' --Sue Saville, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

Reseña del editor:

Women now comprise almost half the priests serving in the Church of England. As a result, there are many male clergy spouses who have had to come to terms with the seismic shift that occurs in family life when a wife embarks on the journey from exploration of vocation - through selection, training and formation - to ordination and a life of ministry. The author had his own busy career when he suddenly found himself playing second fiddle rather than being the 'doer' in the household. Not only did this subtly affect his marriage, but as friends and acquaintances became 'parishioners', he was required to respect boundaries, to be discreet and often to carry the burden of unsought confidentiality. Drawing on these experiences and those of many fellow clergy spouses, this volume is a practical, informative and engaging guide to the joys and challenges of being married to a vicar. Part one deals with the process from initial call to ordination and beyond. Part two helps clergy husbands work through what their new role might involve. Part three looks at lifestyle and family issues, while Part four offers support and sensible advice if things go wrong.
