This book might be considered a companion to Sunday celebrations in the absence of a priest and A ritual for lady persons. It addresses the questions: Who is the lay person who leads the community in prayer? What is their relationship to the community? What skills and/or training should be required? -- What sort of spiritual formation is desirable? How can the parish community or diocese help to promote their ministerial identity? Because lay ministry is not a stop-gap solution to a temporary need but a gift to the Church for the long term, these questions need careful consideration. --Book cover.
