Sabbatical: Guidelines and Policy
The prime purpose of a sabbatical is to provide a three month period away from the pressures of everyday ministry in order to take time for personal study and development. Such development should be seen in the widest context, including some or all of: acquiring new knowledge and experience, honing existing skills, and refreshment in prayer and spirituality.
