The "second-career" minister, particularly in his formative seminary years, is in a unique position to describe these patterns.
The theoretical orientation had two foci: the self-actualization paradigm of Maslow and sociological concepts: role relationship, reference group and persons, role-definition, latent and manifest content, and dysfunction. [TRUNCATED] / 2031-01-01
