Synopsis

Ministry is transformative action. As Christians, when we do something in service--engaging the needs of our sister and brothers in the name of Jesus Christ--we minister for the reign of God. The Romero House volunteers, whose narratives undergird this volume, actively construct a theology of ministry while undergoing a powerful sense of personal transformation. In Ministry That Transforms, Kathleen McAlpin:

• Showcases the Romero House group and her program of Integration for Ministry that provides adult education and ministry formation
• Lays out a transformative Contemplative Theological Reflection Process leading to conversion, contemplation, and holiness through practice and dialogue
• Enlists Scripture, social justice concerns, and a cast of critical thinkers in the theology of ministry

Anyone involved in ministry--whether in formation programs, in parishes, or in social justice activities--will welcome this creative, process-oriented framework for ministerial theology and faith development, a framework that is firmly grounded in the minister's grassroots experience.
