Abstract
This article reports the results of a survey of Canadian Chinese pastors (N=79) regarding pastor wellness by using a 10-item questionnaire. The results indicate that 22 (27.84%) have significant concerns and 38 (48.1%) have some concerns, with females slightly more affected. Major areas of concern are marital and/or family satisfaction, physical health, problem dealing with relationships in church, and emotional health. The author discusses implications of the results and makes some recommendations to the pastors and churches.
