The Parish As Covenant: A Call to Pastoral Partnership

Rating:
Summary: Good Advice
Review: Although self-consciously and unapologetically Roman Catholic, Father Sweetser offers a theologically sound vision of covenantal relationships that could help to form any Christian parish. His advice, based on more than 30 years of pastoral experience is not new, but it is practical. This program could reasonably be exercised in most congregations. Father Sweetser dares to address the taboo subjects of those whose Christianity is only marginally expressed and the various ways that the Church drives individuals to such isolation. Any bishop, priest, pastor, deacon, parish administrator or parish council president could benefit by reading this book.
