About This Book

Aimed at shaping effective parish ministry, the work insists that inward holiness and steady private devotion are the foundation of all pastoral activity. It outlines practical habits for secret prayer and Bible study, including reading methods and safeguards for devotional time. It then addresses everyday conduct among others—courtesy, pastoral manners, visiting the sick, teaching about Christian truths, relations with colleagues and parishioners, household and financial prudence, and vigilance against temptations arising from solitude or work. Closing chapters treat liturgical practice, the sacraments and the Prayer Book, and offer concrete guidance on preaching, counsel and parish administration.
