Leaving Well (L17)

Andy Piggott gives brilliant advice for leaders considering or preparing for leaving a role, taking into account the issues they may face as well as theological principles that can help shape their experience.

Leaving is a certainty in any form of ministry, whether taking up a new post, moving from one area of ministry to another, or approaching retirement from leadership responsibilities.

As this helpful study illustrates, leaving is also a theme that features often in Scripture, from Abraham's calling to Paul's missionary journeys. Reinforced by theological principles, it explores a series of practical ways in which ministers can leave well—both for their own health and ministry, and those of the congregations they serve.

The Grove Leadership Series is a partnership between CPAS and Grove Books, offering fresh thinking and ideas to ensure the difference leadership makes is biblical, thoughtful and practical. Grove Booklets are fast moving explorations of Christian life and ministry: 'Not the last word ... but often the first'.
