which of the following stories would most likely include the theme "suffering
produces character"?

the purpose of this study was to examine factors contributing to wellness

throughout the seasons of vocational ministry. through focus group discussion in four

regions of canada, thirty-four clergy were asked to identify obstacles and facilitators to

wellness. pastors described the importance of a call to ministry, the challenge of

establishing and maintaining boundaries in a vocation with overlapping relational

systems and measures of self-care. obstacles to clergy wellness included unresolved

personal issues, congregational conflict, and challenges related to ministry setting. while

numerous factors affecting wellness are beyond the direct control of clergy, clergy in this

study demonstrated that wellness can be promoted through intentionality on the part of

clergy, congregations and judicatories. this study explored a possible link between

clergy health and development of healthy, missional churches. healthy clergy and

congregations contribute to healthy denominations and bear witness to god’s vision of

shalom. such a witness is an important factor in reaching postmodern culture with the

message of the gospel.
