LEAVEN is an oasis for clergy whose daily lives and ministry have been frustrated and complicated by what is going on in the Church and in society today!

Each issue carries the message of how to enhance our collegial relationships and improve the effectiveness of our work in the Church.

LEAVEN is published six times per year by NNECA providing busy clergy with

up-to-date information on the issues and activities which affect their lives and

ministry. If you have any questions or comments, or wish to submit an article to LEAVEN, please contact the editor,>>>>>>>>>>>>

variety of professional and personal issues faced by clergy including these
