Synopsis

The Process of Admission to Ordained Ministry: A Comparative Study Volume II

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Ordination is a complex process that links ministry, local church, confession of faith, and communion. This process is communitarian, liturgical and juridical, and through these traits, sacramental. In this four-volume series Father Puglisi explores the notion that Christian (both Catholic and Protestant) ordination cannot be reduced to a simple rite of installation or to the acceptance of a charge, but is an ecclesial process whereby a Christian receives a charism for the edification of the Church. In Volume II Father Puglisi analyzes the liturgical and canonical institutions of the Reformation period. He explores the meaning of the Reformed, Anglican, Lutheran, and Wesleyan Rites to recover an understanding of the complex structure of ordination and the implicit connection between ordained ministry and the structuring of the Church.?Libraries serving theologians of all denominations must have this volume.? Religious Studies Review ?. . . an important contribution to the historical, liturgical, theological, and ecumenical literature.? Jeffrey Gros, F.S.C. Journal of Ecumenical Studies
