From the Back Cover

Also Available Lay Ecclesial Ministry The State of the Questions This report of the subcommittee on lay ministry is a must for all active church ministers and for those preparing for such ministry. The report offers conclusions and background information on the term "lay ecclesial minister," the theology of lay ecclesial ministry, the preparation of lay ecclesial ministers, the relationship between lay ecclesial ministers and ordained ministers, as well as other important issues. English: No. 5-345, 96 pp. Spanish: No. 5-864, 76 pp. Together in God's Service Toward a Theology of Ecclesial Lay Ministry These nine papers, presented at a national theological colloquium, begin to bring form and focus to the phenomenon of ecclesial lay ministry in the United States. The authors examine a range of issues from sociological and demographic examinations to explorations of the theological basis for lay ministry, from biblical foundations to magisterial teaching. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the development of ecclesial lay ministry. No. 5-285, 216 pp. Called and Gifted for the Third Millennium In these reflections, published on the fifteenth anniversary of Called and Gifted, the bishops re-examine and update the four "calls" that impel the laity-the calls to holiness, to community, to mission and ministry, and to Christian maturity-in light of Church teaching and pastoral practice-and the changing conditions in the world.
