It's an inelegant title, but "Needed: Pastor-Mentors for Emerging Ministers" by Stephen Baldwin comprehensively lays out the pastor's need for mentoring and encouraging relationships. Read closely, or you may miss his provocative suggestion that the solo pastorate may not be spiritually healthy. (I caught it largely because I have been thinking that for some time now.)
In a similar vein is Gordon Cook's "A Pastor's Grief and How to Cope with It" in the June-July issue of Ordained Servant. It turns out that pastors are people, too.
