But almost 28% feel that a minister should be an "outer-directed person" or "radiant personality." Most galling problem of ministers (29%) was a sense of not living up "to the calling." Eleven percent were bothered by conflicts -"study v. out-with-the-people," "oiling machinery v. essential work...
