Overview

As the Emmaus story unfolds it moves from catechesis to Eucharist to mission. It is a promising paradigm for the process of reweaving the present array of parish ministries into an integrated pastoral practice. Gilbert Ostdiek, OFM, invites those engaged in ministry and those preparing for it to think of their own ministry as part of a larger pastoral tapestry. He also extends the Emmaus paradigm to pastoral leaders who have the responsibility to integrate and coordinate the practice of ministry at parish and diocesan levels. Reweaving the Ministries invites all who are involved in ministry to become ever more fully, in St. Paul’s description, co-workers with one another and co-workers with God in the care of God’s people.

Reviews

One of the unfortunate, unintended consequences of the professionalization of lay ministry since Vatican II has been the rise of silos separating roles and responsibilities on the parish staff. Reweaving the Ministries offers a biblically centered and pastorally relevant model for overcoming this compartmentalization. If every ministerial team in the country read this book, talked about it together, and put it into practice, we would be a better church for it! --Edward P. Hahnenberg, PhD Breen Chair in Catholic Theology at John Carroll University, and author of Theology for Ministry: An Introduction for Lay Ministers
