Synopsis

Examines how the experience of taking part in the work of the parish by collaborating on various committee and advisory boards or in ministry programs, both within and outside its boundaries, can be a context through which peoples faith is enhanced and strengthened. Enhancing the mature faith of adults is essential to the life of the parish and to the parishs capacity to fulfill its fundamental mission of being and becoming a more effective agent of evangelisation. Rather than adding more meetings and programs to an already busy schedule, this book proposes that we draw on the times that adults already meet to enhance the faith formative values of those gatherings.|Examines how the experience of taking part in the work of the parish by collaborating on various committee and advisory boards or in ministry programs, both within and outside its boundaries, can be a context through which peoples faith is enhanced and strengthened.
