| The Society of Mary and Martha was set up specifically to provide care and support for people in Christian ministry and/or their spouses at times of stress, crisis, burnout or breakdown. |
| Some resources are exclusively for people in ministry: |
|
| All other programme events are open to everyone, although many have been designed with particular reference to the needs of people in ministry. |
| Our expertise comes from several decades of experience at Sheldon, plus broad-based trainings in spiritual, psychological and physical approaches to health and wellbeing. We have a good understanding of the nature and dangers of ministry, and what working for the church can be like. |
| We have a light-touch approach and respect your autonomy and dignity. We will offer advice if requested, or create space in which you can explore in your own way at your own pace. Our job is to be a resource to you, give you the tools you need, and keep you in the driving seat. Use us if you want to chew the fat with someone who is off your home patch and doesn’t have a vested interest in the choices you make. |
ps - what we’re not:
psychiatric or nursing care
marital or psychoanalytical therapy
laying on of hands or prayer ministry |
