Product Description
Product Description
eimagining Ministry is a response to growing dissatisfaction with existing models of ministry. David Heywood diagnoses the problems of our traditional understanding and proposes a new model that embraces both the ministry of the whole Church and of the ordained within it. He places mission at the heart of the Church's life, explaining the way in which the Church's understanding of mission has developed over the past generation and showing how the shape of the Church and its ministry grow out of the mission of God. Reimagining Ministry is an intensely practical book, drawing on concrete examples, placing these within a well-argued biblical and theological framework and making proposals for the future of ministry. REIMAGININGMINISTRY DAVID HEYWOOD David Heywood has been an ordained minister in the Church of England for over twenty years. He is currently Director of Pastoral Studies at Ripon College Cuddesdon. Every generation of Christians needs to both practise the ministry they are given, and to imagine the ministry that could be, in order to face the day-to-day challenges of contemporary life. Christians also need to reach for fresh vision that actually helps to transform the everyday situations that ministers face. David Heywood is well-qualified - as both a practitioner and theological reflector - to lead our thinking in this area, and offer new insights for the shaping of ministry today. In this timely, wise and illuminating book, he offers a manifesto for ministry that will help the whole Church - all members of Christ's body - to re-think, re-imagine and re-work the particular paradigms for mission and ministry that need addressing. This is a 'must read' book for all those who practise ministry and for all who want to glimpse some fresh vision for tomorrow's Church.' Martyn Percy, Principal, Ripon College Cuddesdon

Format:Paperback
The is a readable book which examines the changing face of mission and ministry and especially how the understanding of ministry has failed to keep pace and need to be reconceptualised or, in the title of the book 'reimagined'. The author challenges the professional model of clergy, weaving together some of the strands that are beginning to emerge in mission and evangelism to provide an alternative model for the ministry of the whole church, rather than for the ordained clergy alone, based on the centrality of mission. The book provides the theological and theoretical bases for this reimagining and then goes on to open up the possibilities for responding , using illustrative examples drawn mainly from his own experience. A book for anyone who cares about the future of the church and essential reading for those in minstry and their lecturers.
