Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore how long-term pastors have orchestrated conflict in order to lead significant change. The study utilized a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with eight pastors who have served at least ten years in fulltime ministry. The unit of analysis was the critical incident method, and the resultant data was analyzed using the constant comparative method. The findings of this study confirmed that a gap exists between pastors' expectations, training, and practice of pastoral leadership. This suggests that pastors' expectations and training do not align with their experiences, which often creates serious personal and professional issues.
