This book on ministerial formation and supervision provides an accessible and thorough resource. It explores the nature of ministry and formation for 21st Century church and public life. It argues for the importance of supervision in the learning contexts of placement, parish and pastorate and presents an exciting model of supervision as reflective practice that draws on existing literature from different disciplines, including other helping professions, literature and practical theology and the methods and insights of Clinical Pastoral Education, interpreted within a British context.

Chapters cover stimulating and useful areas for consideration by the theological educator and ministerial student, such as doing theological reflection in context; resistance to learning; coping with loss and failure; dynamics of power in ministry and issues of transculturalism in ministry and issues of gender and sexuality. It also offers ways in which the effectiveness of placement learning can be evaluated.

Ward

Dr. William Ward has a long interest in World War II military history, both as a researcher and model maker. Becoming the voluntary Auxiliary Units coordinator for the Defence of Britain Project in 1995, he developed substantial expertise in the field and many good friendships. This led to researching the links between Auxiliary Units and the SAS and he has been fortunate to meet many veterans of both, along with their families. In 2010, he joined Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team (CART), becoming a major contributor to their website, staybehinds.com. Through a CART event, he met Major Weaver's family and others involved in his story.In recent years he has also been involved in archaeological explorations of Auxiliary Units Operational Bases, providing talks and displays and has visited many Operation Bulbasket locations in France. He has helped many families uncover the wartime history their father or grandfather would or could never talk about.
