Product Description

Review

'Alan Billings highlights two challenges that the ordained clergy must embrace if the Christian faith is to survive: allowing themselves to become rooted in parish life, and being educated to argue effectively against modern atheism in its various forms.' --The Rt Hon. Frank Field MP

Product Description

What are clergy for? In this lively and provocative book, Alan Billings argues that they serve the mission and ministry of the Church, which is to make God possible (or findable). Part 1 of Making God Possible looks at recent cultural shifts and the challenges they present to Christianity in the twenty-first century. Part 2 explores some of the models of ministry which have been found in the Church in the past and which continue to exercise an influence: classical (the parson); evangelical (the minister); catholic (the priest), and utility (the social activist and personal therapist). The author skilfully draws out those things of lasting importance and value in each model that might contribute towards the renewal of the ordained ministry today.
