Soul Care for the Clergy Spouse

In the often-overlooked shadow of ministry life, clergy spouses carry deep stories of faith, resilience, and quiet sacrifice. In Soul Care for the Clergy Spouse, Ardelle Walters offers a powerful reflection on her own journey through church transitions, seminary life, and the evolving call to spiritual leadership as a clergy spouse.Through raw storytelling, poignant anecdotes, and thoughtful insight, Ardelle invites readers to explore the complexity of identity, calling, and community in the context of the Episcopal Church. From finding belonging in a new tradition to wrestling with institutional expectations, this illustrated memoir is both a balm and a beacon for those who have lived in the "splash zone" of church life.This book is a must-read for clergy spouses, spiritual caregivers, and anyone seeking to understand the nuanced inner life of those who support clergy from behind the scenes. It is also the origin story of The Partner's Path, a movement committed to creating safe, supportive spaces for clergy spouses to connect, heal, and grow.
