Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. What do you think about your pastor? Do you chew over his sermons and wonder if they are clear and helpful? Do you feel he spends enough time with you? In fact, do you ever catch yourself wondering what he does all day? The truth is, often we think, "What can my pastor do for me?" Far less often do we think, "What can I do for my pastor?" Seasoned former pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do €“ how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on €“ but about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us. Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family.

For Australia, this book is a first. It provides an account of how the Australian legal system interacts with the church - making the legal material accessible and comprehensible to the lay reader. A whole host of questions demonstrated the need for one easy-to-read volume in this area. What happens if children are injured at Sunday school? What is the legal position regarding a church that is regarded by neighbours as a nuisance, or interference with church worship? And what about the employment status of ministers and pastors and the supposed privilege they have regarding confidences? All clergy, church administrators at all levels and their legal advisers will find clear and straightforward discussion of their everyday problems.

OVERVIEW Understand the laws affecting pastors and why they are important for church boards and ministers to know. Richard Hammar uses court cases to help define and explain the legal distinction of ministerial status and its implications for pastors and church boards. This volume addresses clergy employment contracts, compensation, termination, legal privileges and conditions of ministers, and the legal authority of ministers on behalf of the church. Also, the more common theories of clergy legal liability are reviewed.
