Contemplation: A Model of Self-Care for African American Clergypersons
2022
Overview
The African American clergyperson engaged in fulltime ministry, expected to meet and manage all of the overwhelming demands, discovers, sometimes too late, that it is this same push and pull that is the cause for missed opportunities to spend quality time with God and self.The purpose for this study is to examine how the discipline of contemplation can be a resource used to effectively minimize ministry stress on African American clergypersons who are engaged in fulltime ministry.The effects of the demands of the work of ministry can be devastatingly destructive to the soul of the African American clergy. Too many clergy, especially in the African American community, have the unfortunate likelihood of suffering from destructive psychological, physical and spiritual conditions from the expected demands placed upon them. These conditions can sometimes lead African American clergypersons engaged in fulltime ministry to depression or other mental conditions that, if present, could potentially lead to dependency and unhealthy practices. These unhealthy practices can range from alcoholism, the abuse of drugs (legal or illegal), to mood swings, altered behaviors, abnormal behaviors, and ultimately, suicide.
