Clergy play an important role in our society by working with individuals, families, churches, and communities. Many clergy members and their families report experiencing high levels of stress due to their demanding responsibilities and hectic schedules. The present study aimed to gain a more in-depth understanding of boundary-related stress and coping resources of clergy and their families. Data were collected through focus groups consisting of clergy and clergy spouses. Results revealed a number of boundary-related stressors affecting the quality of life for clergy and their families. Boundary-related stressors were found to include issues surrounding time, mobility, congregational fit, space, isolation, and intrusions. In order to cope with these boundary-related stressors, clergy and their families reported that they used a variety of coping methods to buffer the impact of boundary intrusions.
