Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a persuasive defense of the Methodist church's system of itinerant ministry, comparing it favorably to the settled ministry practiced by many other Christian denominations. The author argues that the itinerant system ensures a more effective and equitable distribution of ministerial talent, avoids the dangers and negative effects of elections and long pastorates, and fosters a greater sense of equality and brotherhood among both the ministry and the laity. The author believes that the itinerant system is a more effective and scriptural model for church governance and ministry, and offers a detailed and thoughtful examination of its advantages and benefits.
