In this episode of the Ministry Forum Podcast, Rev. John Borthwick explains the concept of "intermission" in the Presbyterian Church in Canada, a 10-week paid leave for ministers designed to provide rest, renewal, and spiritual reflection. Surprisingly, many ministers are unaware of this opportunity, which has existed since 1992 and was revised in 2022 to be more flexible.
John shares insights from his own experience, having taken three intermissions throughout his ministry. He highlights the importance of stepping away from the demands of ministry to recharge and avoid burnout. The conversation covers practical aspects, like planning with your congregation, securing pulpit supply, and setting boundaries during the break. John also discusses the benefits for both ministers and congregations, as intermission allows for personal rejuvenation and introduces new voices to the church community.
