| Résumé: | Research on ministerial effectiveness has not produced results of maximum value to the churches. The major problems which have hampered this research are delineated in this paper. They include the use of secondary rather than primary criteria, the selection of general ministerial functions, the lack of collaboration with church leaders, laity, clergy and theologians in assessing effectiveness; use of the rating mode of measurement, and the changing nature of functions in the parish ministry. Suggestions are provided to help resolve the problems. |
