Pastoral Health - What's the Difference Between Sabbath and Sabbatical?

Ruth Ben-Ghiat: I believe that pastors and Christian leaders in particular need sabbaticals. She says it's a biblical principle that comes from the agricultural life, that you let a field life follow for one season every seventh year so that it can regain some of its nutrientsand be replenished. The temptations for pastors is we violate the Sabbath and then we try to binge our rest, she says.ben-ghiat: It only took me 20 years to believe that I could have that. We're not used to it in our culture anymore. And there's a deeper kind of replenishment that comes over time.
