It examines how men and women priests manage their many and everyday commitments to God, the Church and their personal relationships. In a fast-changing world, \u003ci\u003eManaging Clergy Lives \u003c\/i\u003eshows how the vocational commitment of priests to their ordinal vows remains steadfast. For today's clergy, the ordained life means obedience, sacrifice and a loss of intimacy, embodied in spiritual self-discipline and the ultimate dedication of body and soul to God. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by an Anglican Bishop (Peyton) in Dundee and a Senior Lecturer from Lancaster University (Gatrell), \u003ci\u003eManaging Clergy Lives\u003c\/i\u003e opens a window onto clergy households in terms of personal relationships, spirituality and work-home balance.
