Synopsis

Transforming Ministry Formation is a theological and practical exploration of ministry formation in the church today. Drawing on the wisdom of thirty years of experience from the Association of Graduate Programs in Ministry (AGPIM), these essays survey the changing ministerial landscape of the Catholic Church in the United States, identifying some of the most important challenges and best opportunities facing those involved in ministry. The volume makes a distinctive contribution to the field of practical theology by taking up ministerial formation as the subject for theological reflection. Highlighting the particular challenges involved in training lay ministers, it explores the range of ministries―from liturgy to youth to health care―that these ministers are already leading. †
