Reforming the Church analyses ministries, participatory structures (e.g., pastoral councils, synods, etc.), pastoral institutions (e.g., parishes, etc.), the role of the laity and especially women and couples in the Church, the formation programs in seminaries and the decision-making and decision-taking models, among other topics where concrete reforms are needed. The book covers six perspectives/parts: The synodal form of church; scripture and tradition—the consensus ecclesiae; pathways to renewed ministries; coresponsibility versus clericalism; reforming structures; and the future—an ongoing synodal spirituality.

Jesus was a Jew. Why are some of us "Catholics"? What is a "Catholic"? How has abuse been allowed to exist within the Catholic Church ever since its inception? Why is any abuse within the Church accepted, tolerated, or even possible? When clergy harm any member of our church family, the entire Church is harmed. When do we become ashamed of "indifference" within our Church and stop being merely "bystanders" to abuses by clergy? No matter the form or the magnitude, abuse is abuse. Through their clerical abuses, clericalism, and lack of authenticity, clergy destroy their credibility as "priests." It is then that members of the laity are compelled to walk away from the Church they deeply love. To continue as a true "Christian" in the religion of one's choice, where does one go? What does one do? As true "Catholics," we are called to deepen our love for God by not being afraid to ask questions or to question our faith. Who do we say God is? What do we believe in? Rick shares personal experiences and witness with brief history points and insight of our Catholic Church, praying to encourage and challenge others to embrace "parresia," an awesome term used by Bergoglio with the conclave prior to being elected as Pope Francis. We are all this beautiful and blessed "assembly" which is our "Church," where everyone should feel welcome and loved; and no one should ever be abused, feel intimidated, ignored, excluded, or afraid. Shalom!

Winner of a 2022 Association of Catholic Publishers Excellence in Publishing Award: Resources for Ministry (Third Place). Whether you are seasoned from years of ministry or are just getting started living out the vows you made at ordination, this essential handbook will provide the spiritual and practical support you need as a Catholic deacon in the Church today. In Our Life of Service, international speaker and bestselling author Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers will inspire and uplift you as he and his brother deacons—including Greg Kandra, Larry Oney, Dominic Cerrato, and Thomas J. Fox—share their testimonies and insights about how to serve God with determination, faith, and vision. Burke-Sivers explains the gift of the diaconate as a living image of Christ the Servant in the world, a source of comfort and hope at a time when both are in short supply. Burke-Sivers explores the daily realities of life to answer important questions about the diaconate such as: What does the Church teach about the purpose of this ministry both within the parish and the world? How are the three key responsibilities of teaching, sanctifying, and leading entrusted to a deacon at ordination practiced in daily life? How does his commitment to his wife help a married deacon balance his duties to his family and ministry? What are practical strategies and solutions for the challenges deacons face, especially when conflicts arise within ministry? Burke-Sivers also calls for younger, more diverse groups of men who reflect on the face of the Church to become permanent deacons in order to bridge the gap between the Church and the world and to reach the unchurched. Each chapter contains questions for reflection, action steps, and prayers to help deacons strengthen their own commitment to their calling. Drawing from the writings of St. John Paul II and other ecclesial writings about the purpose and gift of the permanent diaconate, Burke-Sivers educates and inspires us to more fully appreciate this gift and enriches and encourages those who have themselves answered this call. Written for deacons in active ministry, Our Life of Service is also inspiring reading for Catholics in the pew who are considering a call or who simply want to understand the purpose and gift of the permanent diaconate.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of key issues in contemporary global migration and considers the theological implications for Christianity, in general, and for Christian faith and practice in various parts of the world, in particular. Migrant Christians, who make up the majority of believers on the move and in diaspora, play an increasingly vital role in world Christianity today. Drawing on cases from across the globe, Gemma Tulud Cruz considers how Christians are faced with immense gifts and tremendous challenges brought by the ever-increasing presence of migrants in their midst and the conditions that characterize contemporary global migration. Migrant Christians themselves face multiple challenges, which have been made more stark by the coronavirus pandemic. The volume will be relevant to scholars of religion and of migration who are interested in a closer examination of what happens to Christians and Christianity, (faith) communities, and nation-states in the age of migration.

"Creating the Evangelizing Parish challenges those who realize the importance of evangelization and are eager to make an impact on Catholic Church life today. Co-authors Frank DeSiano and Kenneth Boyack clearly explain the definition of evangelization and offer for further clarification, an "encounter model" of evangelization which specifically places the ministry into the framework of personal relationships. The authors then describe actual parish dynamics and organization in terms of their universal evangelizing purposes as understood by the church." "Creating the Evangelizing Parish is key reading for church leaders who want to take charge of their parishes' direction, establish evangelization teams, and implement effective parish strategies for renewal. Every pastor, pastoral staff member, parish counselor, and other workers in evangelization will gladly welcome this book as a pastoral and practical resource for their ministry. Creating the Evangelizing Parish will richly reward those who look for new directions in their ministry and the church."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Synodality envisions a new way of proceeding in the Church: toward a coresponsible and participatory Church for the third millennium. It is an ecclesial model that calls for the recognition of laity as full subjects in the Church.
