“Serving faithfully in one’s current congregation while going through the secretive process of looking for a new position is one of the most difficult dilemmas of any pastor’s life. How should one respond to “getting the itch”? What confidentialities must be kept? What are the consequences of being an active candidate? Antal’s companionable approach stimulates theological and spiritual reflection on matters of practical importance, promotes self-understanding, and enhances ministry.”—Foreword by John M. Thomas, President of The United Church of Christ. Alban Institute.
