• Spirituality as an Irreducible Human Motivation and Process (2013, background): “The word sacred refers not only to ideas of higher powers, God, and transcendent reality, but also to other significant objects that take on spiritual character and meaning by virtue of their association with the divine (Pargament & Mahoney, 2005).”

• Clergy Burnout: A Comparison Study with Other Helping Professions (2017, background): “Clergy and their parishioners uniquely attribute a sacredness to ministry work, which may drive them to work harder and longer than other helping professionals in order to avoid perceived failure, thus making them prone to burnout (Pargament & Mahoney 2005; Stewart-Sicking et al. 2011).”
