A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

David Ranson has written an innovative book that offers an approach to understanding priestly ministry constructed around "paradox". The primary inspiration is the Easter story and the light of the paschal candle: in the flickering light there is a potent sense that God does not use the strong to reveal the divine presence, alive and active in the world. The paradox is that to carry out priestly ministry in the contemporary world requires a break from much of the support systems and structures that have serviced this ministry in the past: the risen Lord will be best served in the midst of much dying. This thought provoking book is sure to make bishops, priests, and the laity aware of the current dilemmas facing the Catholic clergy while reminding them of the complex ways grace is at work in all our lives.
