More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
'I believe that this old and respected structure of the parish has an indispensable mission of great contemporary importance.' (Pope Paul VI) The Welcoming Parish fleshes out this conviction by reflecting on the power and hope contained in what is going on in parishes today. Its twenty-four short chapters address most of the key areas of growth and also of concern in today's parish. These include; our vision of parish, parish leadership structures, getting people involved, planning for the future, adult faith, the parish and young people. The idea is to present the best thinking and practice available to us today. There is a particular focus on the theology embodied in the practice. The reader is offered ways of thinking about parish and its different activities that can inform planning and sustain local creativity. Throughout, the theme of welcome is to the fore. All that is life-giving in parish today can be seen to revolve around welcome. A welcoming parish is a place where people do not just hear but also feel the Good News of the gospel. The book reflects the growing sense that evangelisation is first and foremost about welcome.

Format:Paperback
An excellent book for those involved or wishing to be involved in Parish ministry. I particularly liked the way the links were made between some of the more secular principles that could be used in Parish planning. The book is well written and very user-friendly. Would highly recommend this to others
Format:Paperback
This book arrived within six days of placing the order. The book is in very good condition for something that was advertised as used. There were no markings on the book which I find distracting because I like to come to my own conclusions.
