Thinking about Parochial Economics #2

Perhaps facing honestly into the fiscal realities knocking on the red doors of many parishes would allow us the opportunity to meet our economic challenges with creativity and enthusiasm instead of desperation and depression. Isn't it about time we spent some time clarifying the expectations congregations have of clergy? What roles are clergy to fulfill? Primarily sacramental? Somewhat pastoral? Or mostly administrative?
Exactly how does a priest-in-residence impact the communal life of a congregation? Don't get me wrong, I'm in no hurry to get into another line of work, but these questions continue to roll around in my head and I constantly wonder why we don't seem to be able to have any sort of non-anxious conversation around such things.
