"This is an important book about increasingly significant issues
for Christian communities and their leaders today. Best practice,
proper care and unwavering focus on vision and purpose combine to
great effect, providing and essential and rich resource for those
engaged in contemporary Christian ministry." -- Martyn Atkins,
General Secretary, Methodist Church of Great Britain
"I strongly recommend this book as a resource for pastoral
educators in a variety of disciplines: spiritual direction, field
education, and clinical pastoral education." -- Carrie L. Buckner,
Journal of Formation and Ministry
"Pastoral Supervision: A Handbook is a textbook full of practical
wisdom which would be of value to anyone who accompanies others as
they seek to develop and review their practice of ministry.
Moreover, each chapter ends with a series of related reflective
exercises; trying some for myself I realised what a gem this book
is for any engaged in this kind of work." -- Anne Tomlinson,
Principal, Scottish Episcopal Institute
"Leach and Paterson not only demystify what pastoral supervision
may or may not be but they have also crafted a handbook which taps
into the wellspring of their own reflective practice and is all the
more grounded and relevant for it. -- Ewan Kelly, Journal of
Healthcare Chaplaincy
