Sustaining a Healthy Ministerial Workplace by Susan Mac-Alpine-Gillis
Abstract
Ministry is leadership. With this statement, Sarah Drummond engages us in an
examination of leadership competence in the postmodern era. She characterizes
leadership as occurring in public and personal spaces, provided by professionally trained
leaders and by volunteer staff or leaders. Leadership has become a focal point due to
rapidly changing cultural, global, and national contexts. But since institutional and
hierarchical structures are historically slower to change, Drummond reframes existing
curricula by expanding and adapting them to post-COVID realities that include
technologically based learning platforms.
