<p><b>A new way of approaching and understanding moral conflict within ministry.</b></p><p>Tasked with being moral and spiritual arbiters, clergy endure significant challenges, including continual public scrutiny, constant availability, and persistent ethical complexities. And yet the moral pressures that weigh continually on the clergy do not spring from catastrophe nor disaster; parish priests, for instance, often face conflicts that are more low-key but continual. A faithful priest who makes the right decision in the face of conflicting obligations will often experience regret, guilt, and remorse for being unable to fulfill both obligations. Joseph Pagano describes these residual feelings of guilt and remorse as moral remainders, which are often an unacknowledged but critical component of parish ministry. </p><p>Pagano explores a series of moral dilemmas confronting clergy, analyzing them through the dual lenses of a pastoral theologian and a philosopher-ethicist. Bridging the gap between theoretical discussions of moral dilemmas in modern philosophy, virtue ethics, and theology, and the practical experiences of pastors, Pagano uses case studies to illustrate the relevance of theory to everyday parish life. Ultimately, Pagano's innovative approach to the moral dilemmas faced by clergy will be a significant contribution to the spiritual well-being of parish priests. </p> Moral Dilemmas in Parish Ministry, (Paperback) Author: Joseph Pagano ISBN: 9798898950316 Format: Paperback Publication Date: 2027-02-23 Page Count: 224 Book format Paperback Fiction/nonfiction Non-Fiction Genre Religion Publication date February, 2027 Pages 224 Subgenre Christian Theology Series title No Series Number in series 0 Edition 1 Publisher Church Publishing Language English Is collectible N Recording time 0 min Retail packaging Single Piece Assembled product dimensions (l x w x h) 5.50 x 6.00 x 8.50 in Assembled product weight 1.25 lb Bisac subject heading Religion
