Spanish translation of “The Parish: Mission or Maintenance?”
How can clergy and lay people truly collaborate in the mission of the Church while retaining their unique identities?
The answer lies in formation and governance. Resting solidly upon Catholic tradition and magisterial teaching, this booklet synthesizes and creatively presents Church teaching on the role of the laity in her mission, demonstrates the case for lay formation in the parish, and analyzes the practical issues of governing, as opposed to merely administrating, a parish. The Parish: Mission or Maintenance? brings together a wide array of teaching and quotes documents extensively. An excellent resource for those desiring a closer look at lay apostleship, for pastors wanting a solid theological basis for lay formation and parish structure, and a must read for anyone involved in adult faith formation.
