Why we serve
Theologians spend many useful hours in speculation over what form the Church of the future will take. Part of that speculation involves ministry as it is lived through the institutional Church. Today much of that ministry is lived out by lay people-people who serve the Church in full-time, often paid, capacities. But what is this type of life like? In WHY WE SERVE, lay ministers tell us their experience of Church. If you are a theology student considering lay ministry, this book can provide some practical reality tor your reflection. If you are a Catholic who wonders what "those people who aren't priests and nuns but work for the Church" do, then this book will have some answers. If you are a lay minister, this book might serve as a source of inspiration and renewal. Lf you are a theologian, this book might intluence your speculation on the Church's future.
