Are you ready for a break? Have you
recognized the need for a Cold Turkey sabbatical? You'll be able to get
started on your sabbatical here.
I've broken the link selection down
to two categories, Policies and Plans
and Advice. To get the most help,
you'll want to look at selections from both.
Here's an article I wrote for
Today's Christian magazine about sabbaticals, aimed at church
attenders:
Give 'Em
a Break! The article includes helpful information about
funding a sabbatical.
Also, you should check out these two
links AFTER looking at some of the links below:
Lilly
Endowment, Inc. - National Clergy Renewal for funding grants
(but be prepared to work for it- it's not the kind of sabbatical I
advocate).
The
Alban Institute offers several resources for sabbatical.
Some find their video,
Why You
Should Give Your Pastor a Sabbatical helpful for educating
church leadership about sabbaticals. Again, be warned that aspects
of this resource goes contrary to the sabbatical rest I advocate.
Policies and Plans:
Disciples Of Christ Denomination
Wheatridge Ministries (Lutheran MS)
Reformed Church of America
PC(USA)
