ISBN: 1856070891 ISBN-13: 9781856070898 Publisher: Columba Press (IE) OUR PRICE: $22.50 Product Type: Paperback Published: December 1994 Annotation: Even as the familiar model of Church is in serious decline, a new model of Church is coming to birth in the lives and creative pastoral initiatives of a significant number of small, independent groups in all kinds of ministry. John O'Brien here affirms what these groups are attempting, and reflects theologically on how the seedbed of a renewed church can be found in their faith and struggle. It is written for those actively exercising ministry or leadership in the Church, and for the growing number of lay people who, although open to spirituality and the works of reconciliation and justice, feel increasingly distant from what they perceive the Church to be. |
