Bivocational Ministry (BM) is a much more universal phenomenon amongst churches than has often been recognised. Whilst much attention has been paid to BM as it plays out in specific denominations (such as in the Church of England, where it is called 'Self-Supporting Ministry', or in the Catholic Church with its ‘worker priests’), there has been little in the way of broader analyses of the bivocational approach.
Critical Perspectives of Bivocational Ministry offers a comprehensive, original exploration of the theological, biblical, educational and practical dimensions of bivocational ministry across the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Africa. Grounded in Scripture and developed through Practical Theology, Samushonga shows how dual-vocational calling complements traditional full-time ministry, enriching the Church’s understanding of vocation, mission and service. The book traces historical developments and contemporary contexts, engaging theological education, spiritual formation, institutional practice and lived pastoral experience. Integrating empirical research with reflective practice, this volume demonstrates how faith and work interpenetrate in everyday ministry, offering biblically rooted, contextually engaged guidance for churches, seminaries, and leaders. It reframes bivocational ministry as a sustainable model of Christian leadership that strengthens congregations and complements existing patterns of ministry in the twenty-first-century Church.
