Violence on Clergy

Here's a post that I deleted, for unknown reasons. I came across this article once in Cape Town's morning paper. One in ten clergy in London reported assault over a two-year period, and so on. OBSERVATION: Yes, this is quite believeable. In fact these figures are low, when put next to my own experience in African urban ministry. Few people are aware, I think, that certain forms of ministry, particularly city ministry, are hazardous. And violence is not the only hazard.
