Synopsis
Every lay minister is a potential evangelizer--even members of the choir, hospitality committee, finance committee, and so on. This exciting new approach, presented here by nationally recognized experts, expands the definitions of what it means to evangelize and how it can be a "natural result" of what people are doing anyway. Lay Ministers, Lay Disciples is a unique instructional guide offering specific help for the different lay ministries. Addressing both theological issues and practical matters, it can be used as either a training text or a guide for personal reflection. All of its points are examined against a backdrop of six dimensions that are critical to evangelization: discipleship, friendship, witness, proclamation, invitation, and integration. This book will challenge and refresh lay ministers, help them pinpoint their own strengths and weaknesses, and show how to work more effectively with the clergy. It's must reading for every lay minister, every pastor, every parish council, every evangelization team. It's also an extraordinary resource that should be in every diocesan office.
