best equipped for the long haul of evangelism, discipleship, pastoral care, leadership and ideological conflict?

It is a great second instalment in our Training Matters mini-series, and you can read it here.

Delighted to see this important subject being explored. Can I just give a shout out for the Sheldon Hub – doing healthy ministry together. A new secure free online community for people in (and training for) ministry. http://www.sheldonhub.org. In depth conversations that don’t flinch from the tough stuff when necessary.
