About this title

Synopsis

Much has been written about Christian initiation, but most of it has been written from the perspective of the large urban or suburban parish. People in rural areas and small towns live in a culture different from those in cities and suburbs, and the ministry to catechumens and candidates should reflect those differences. In A Harvest for God: Christian Initiation in the Rural and Small-Town Parish, Michael Clay offers practical, step-by-step insights into implementing the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults in a way that is faithful to the rite and respectful of rural culture. Anyone who ministers in a rural or small-town catechumenate will find this book a valuable aid. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.
