Thanks, Jill, Linda Facebooked me and told me it was Patrick but I hadn’t had a chance to update the post. I’d be delighted to have a bunch of young people like them in one of my churches, I really would.

OK – as District Sabbaticals Secretary for my District, I can send you a copy of the document entitled “Coming Back” which is part of our pack of documents for ministers and churches. We produced it last year, as a result of conversations over the previous couple of years. You might find it useful – although I take your point about reinvitation. It’s a sticky time, in many ways. One of the reasons I have reservations about our system.

Unfortunately that isn’t in the official advice in this District, because I think I’d need something like that to lean on if I did it. I suppose I also feel under emotional pressure at this time, because the question of my invitation will be discussed this summer.

Re-entry from sabbatical is so important. I’ve seen so many folk come back to full diaries and manic chaos, and end up exhausted after a few weeks. We recommend in this District that you block a few days holiday a few weeks after coming back. I know, it sounds a bit daft, but we’ve found it works. I kept my fortnight’s summer hols until a few weeks after my sabbatical last year – am I glad I did!
