Bivocational: Returning to the Roots of Ministry offers one answer to the pressing question of the future of congregational life in the mainline Protestant Church. The contention of the book is that the model of professional ministry we have received from the past century of congregational life is imposing unsustainable costs on most congregations and parishes. In consequence, these faith communities face stark choices for which there are no selfevident answers. Shall we close? Shall we merge with another congregationa decision shaped by a primary value on maintaining a fulltime professional in the role of ordained minister? Can we find someone who will do the job parttime? What will it mean for themand for us?Bivocational explores the impact on the ministry, on congregations, and on denominational polities of encouraging a way forwardone in which bivocational ordained professionals, ministers working simultaneously in the church and in secular life, come to leadership positions in the church. It explores the different sorts of gifts and preparation such ordained ministers need, and how a bivocational ethos looks when it characterizes not only the ordained minister, but all ministers of the congregationlay and ordained alike.
