- "Through years of supervising field-education students and interns, and in my teaching of those who participated in courses to become supervisors, I have found insights into ways to enrich my ministry leadership through the notion of congregational life as a locus for learning. I view the congregation as a unique learning environment, first because it is perhaps the only community gathering where learning can take place across the generations ... Second, this gathering of people is bound by faith in God, as a spirit who calls us beyond ourselves to serve others with compassion, and as a gift of grace the redeems us and invites us to reach greater potential for Christian discipleship and leadership. In writing this book I am sharing ways in which I exercised leadership be encouraging the learning of others, both theological students and congregation members. Learning is focused through the development of learning goals, and learning is explored through a covenanted supervisory relationship". -- Preface, p. xi.
