Dissertation Review: Clergy burnout and removal from ministry

Burnout can lead to inappropriate behavior or other circumstances that necessitate the removal of the pastor from the church. The Recovery Program of the Evangelical Free Church of America Ministerial Association identifies six crises associated with the traumatic experience of losing one’s ministry that must be addressed by a recovery program.

  • Housing Crisis—Where can we live?
  • Financial Crisis—How can we pay our bills?
  • Friendship Crisis—Have we lost all our friends?
  • Job/Career Crisis—Where can I work now? In the future?
  • Spiritual Crisis—How do I deal with the guilt, shame, broken dreams and vision?
  • Personal Crisis—Can I be helped? Can I change?
