ABSTRACT

As I acknowledged in the introduction, this study has several limitations. One is that it does not take into account the second-career male minister. Another is that it focuses exclusively on the male minister and may be less applicable to women ministers. I indicated, however, that second-career male ministers and women ministers may have reason to read this book, and I suggested what these reasons might be. In this epilogue I will expand on these suggestions and propose a more fundamental reason why they might take this study seriously despite somewhat limited relevance to themselves.
