When a man is called to be a pastor or vicar, what are the implications for his wife?
Are all those cliches about flower arranging and scone baking true? Is she automatically a church worker on the bargain two-for-the-price-of-one basis? Should she pursue her own career? How will family life be affected? What about the emotional stresses, compounded in many cases by comparative poverty or financial insecurity?
