Clergy self-care

The creative wise-woman, Rachel Hackenberg, and I have been engaging in back-end twitter discussions about clergy self-care, each of us expressing a certain appreciation and irritation with the subject. Since it’s difficult to hash out the nuances in 140 characters, we decided to step from behind the curtain and talk about it on our blogs.

Rachel kicked off our discussion by addressing privilege, and the hope that we could separate our theological understandings with the marketing forces. I say, "Amen." Please, read her post (and Crimson Rambler's comments are hilarious too).

Then, Rachel asked me, "Carol, from your perspective what’s useful about the phrase 'clergy self-care' and what’s not?"
