The Next Generation of Pastoral Leaders: What the Church Needs to Know
Based on a survey conducted by the renowned late sociologist Dr. Dean R. Hoge, The Next Generation of Pastoral Leaders provides a unique glimpse into the thinking and attitudes of young Catholic adults as it relates to pastoral ministry. The findings are essential for anyone in Catholic ministry who is interested in developing both lay and ordained pastoral leaders for the future, and more immediately, if the Church is to involve young people in parish life and campus ministry today.
The Changing Face of Church: Emerging Models of Parish Leadership
Changes in the Catholic Church are happening everywhere, not least in the area of pastoral planning. Based on the experiences of more than 500 of today's pastoral leaders in the Catholic Church, The Changing Face of Church documents the best practices for approaching the massive, rapidly evolving challenge of pastoral planning.
Shaping Catholic Parishes: Pastoral Leaders in the 21st Century
The first book in the series offers first-person accounts of 22 parish leaders, lay and ordained, from parishes across the country. They represent the spectrum of inner-city, suburban, and rural communities. Taken together, their stories paint a comprehensive picture of the emerging parish and parish leadership.
Written by Kathy Hendricks, an author and one-time parish life coordinator, this book discusses the findings of extensive research conducted for the Project by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) along with the results of listening sessions of bishops who are using Canon 517.2 in their dioceses. Also included are the results of consultations with parish life coordinators and sacramental ministers, and stories from people now serving in Canon 517. 2 parishes.
