Description

For two years a Boston College faculty seminar explored the history, theology, and practice of the ordained priesthood within the wider ministerial life of the Catholic community. The fruit of that process was a document, "To Serve the People of God: Renewing the Conversation on Priesthood and Ministry," which was shared with the Vatican and distributed with bishops' conferences throughout the world. The original document and a selection of responses are collected in this volume--an essential reflection on the hopes and horizons for the future of the priesthood in the Catholic Church.

Reviews

"And the people of God say: Amen! A brilliant practical theological examination of the Catholic priesthood. Both the process and the content of this book can lead us to a better future."--Kathleen A. Cahalan, Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary, author, Introducing the Practice of Ministry

"This book is like a well-tuned and multi-layered orchestra voicing the future of the Church and the ministries that will enable it to flourish. We have long needed fresh and deep thinking about the priesthood involving all the people of God. Courageous in reimagining new ways of theologising about priesthood, Priestly Ministry and the People of God is essential reading for anyone interested in the leadership of the Church and the formation of its ministers and priests."--Maeve Louise Heaney, President, Australian Catholic Theological Association

"There is no more pressing topic for scholarly as well as pastoral
consideration in the Church at this time than the future of priesthood and ministry. If you have any doubts then read this book. The fresh approach to questions simultaneously ancient and new is engaging, creative, and thought-provoking."--Eamonn Conway, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick
