Abstract

This article juxtaposes the ministerial experiences of two individuals via short autobiographies around the theme of priesthood today. The authors examine contemporary cultural tropes from a theological and sociological perspective, concluding that there are learning possibilities in the role of shaman, and, very cautiously, in that of witch doctor.
