Just thought of a potentially helpful metaphor for itinerate ministry - arranged marriage. Like, you'd love to love this person/congregation, but it wasn't really your decision, so it's kind of difficult for that love to develop organically - or quickly anyway. Maybe that's what itineracy is about - keeping us from community-infatuation.
I don't know why I'm so concerned with itineracy - I'm on the deacon route.
