The question they face is how they are to learn it. . . . \u003c\/em\u003e-from the foreword by Fisher HumphreysAfter realizing that much of daily pastoral work can only be learned as ministers begin their first pastorate, Christopher M. Hamlin and Sarah Jackson Shelton decided to ask more than eighty of their colleagues what their churches had taught them. Their primary question was this: \u003cem\u003eCould it be that the church, its people, and the life events experienced within the context of the faith community become the educational experiences that mold and shape ministers into pastors?\u003c\/em\u003e Collected in \u003cem\u003eThe Teaching Church: Congregation as Mentor\u003c\/em\u003e are the stories of the pastors who shared how congregations have shaped, nurtured, and, sometimes, broken their resolve to be faithful servants of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Jackson Shelton,Christopher M.
