Winston Salem, NC (PRWEB) November 1, 2006

Winston-Salem, NC (PRWEB) November 1, 2006 -- Jan Hinton, founder of ePastorNetwork, the Internet's first membership website for the clergy, announced today she will interview one of the US's most influential Presbyterian Ministers, Dr. M. Craig Barnes, in a free call open to all pastors.

"I'm delighted that Pastor Barnes has consented to discuss some of the most challenging issues facing the clergy today," said Hinton. "I believe this interview will provide Ministers with important and insightful information they can use to improve themselves and their work ministering to others."

The telephone interview will take place on Monday, November 6, 2006. The call is free but Pastors must register at http://www.ePastorNetwork.com in order to reserve a telephone line.

Pastor Barnes is the author of several popular spirituality titles, including Hustling God, Sacred Thirst and, most recently, Searching for Home.

He is the Senior Pastor at Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, PA and the Robert Meneilly Professor of Leadership and Ministry at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Prior to that, Dr. Barnes served as Pastor of The National Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC.

Hinton will discuss several topics with Pastor Barnes, including:

• His personal journey through pastorates to becoming a Professor at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
• What it means for God to interrupt a Pastor's life
• A Pastor's personal journey of Sacred Thirst
• What he thinks are the challenges facing Pastor's today and what they can do to meet those challenges

A recent nationwide study of Protestant ministers found that one in every five pastors are currently dealing with a very difficult family situation.
