Can the clergy have thinking time?

“The difference between these two,” M V Tronson muses, “is that those great evangelists on the one hand ignored the silent pressures to 'conform to being busy' and on the other, were great leaders and could demonstrate that they had earned the ‘right’ to have time to think.”

Mark Tronson draws the conclusion that, in our present society, unless the clergy can prove themselves in the market place of evangelism, they have not earned this ‘right’ to take time for stillness and quiet reflection.

Consequently, he advocates, it is time for the clergy to follow the pathway of Christ, ignore the criticisms, be faithful to their calling and take time to listen carefully and thoughtfully to the voice of God.
