Explore what it means to be a clergyperson in this serious yet light-hearted look at the role of clergy in a changing world. Writing candidly from her own experiences as a UCC minister, Schaper evokes Mark Twain's observational style as she tackles issues of gender, authority, security (and insecurity), power and life in the congregational fishbowl as perceived by clergy and congregation.
