In the Episcopal Church, small parishes expect to employ a full-time rector. In today's economy a full-time priest serving one altar places severe demands on these congregations. As small churches over-invest financially in clergy deployment they also over-invest emotionally. An atmosphere is created where clergy are expected to over-function to match the high level of investment. The stresses caused by this phenomena are causing clergy 'burn-out' while these small cures are becoming harder to fill. The project/thesis explores the connection between financial over-investment and the emotional expectations to over-function. The project seeks to lower one by lowering the other.
