Product Description

This practical and reflective handbook offers invaluable advice to those who supervise new ministers at the start of their ordained ministry, and may also be useful to the ministers themselves if they are not fortunate enough to have a well-planned induction. It makes available, within a church context, the wealth of material which has been developed in secular professional fields, as well as the best practice already happening in the Church today.

Useful handbook for training incumbents
This is a useful handbook for training incumbents as they approach the arrival of a new curate. Chapters include help with supervision, working with difference, setting learning goals, problems that might be encountered and a short chapter for the curate. The book contains lots of helpful information although it is written in a rather dry style and is very definitely geared toward Anglican priests. There are a useful set of Appendices including sample forms. The authors make reference to a great deal of research including the experience of twenty curates after their supervision period but a book of this length cannot go as in depth as many readers might have wished.
