Book Description: Columba Press Sep 1993, Blackrock, Co.Dublin, 1993. Paperback. Book Condition: New. In recent years, ordained ministry has been very much in the news. Debated topics include departure from the ministry, decline in numbers of vocations, optional celibacy, the ordination of women, collaborative ministry. There are no easy answers to the q uestions raised in connection with these topics. This book attempts to look at the essentials of all priestly ministry in the context of the perennial Good News of Jesus Christ and the mission of the Church, in her relationships with God, with people of other religions, and with those of no organised r eligion. Fr Lane examines contemporary challenges to priesthood, tentatively draws lessons from the history of priestly ministry, reflects on a spirituality of ministry, and looks to the future with hope. Fr Thomas Lane CM teaches at All Hallows College, Dublin. He was Rector of All Hallows from 1970 until 1982 and Director of Damascus House, London, from 1982 until 1991.
