DESCRIPTION:Tending the FireClergy, how do you maintain yourself in the 
 midst of the demands of ministry?Even at its best, pastoral 
 ministry is a demanding profession. And when conflicts rage

 estions that don’t have easy answers ... how do you keep you
 r balance in the midst of it all?Tending the Fire is a proce
 ss based on Bowen Family Systems Theory as applied to the ch
 urch.  It offers clergy a new understanding of their church'
 s emotional dynamics, and new energy for ministry. Tending t
 he Fire will be offered at the Essex Center UMC in Essex, Ve
 rmont in a series of three retreats in January, March and Ma
 y 2012.  For more information, contact Barbara Lemmel, at ba
