This empirical and theological project researches physical and emotional
weakness in the context of spiritual leadership, in order to discover what
consequences these impediments have on church development. Selected
representatives (national leaders - or at least regional leaders - of Swiss state and
free churches) have therefore been interviewed. It was possible to describe four
contrasting typologies which describe the different effects of handicapped leaders
and to deduce various consequences for the understanding of church leadership
and development.
This research is an attempt to contribute to a differentiated practice of dealing
with physically and emotionally suffering leaders in the field of church
development. It can be seen as a first explorative study of the evaluation of
institutional practice. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.Th. (Practical Theology)
