Abstract
1 am writing this book as 'a reference tool for lay pastors
of Catholic faith communities. There are many good books and
manuals available on various aspects of pastoring and pastoral
concerns. There are excellent books on the "theology of
ministry" and the changing character of the Catholic parish.
But none of them synthesizes these resources into a single
resource guide for the new lay pastor or member of a Uastoriy
team. That is the hope of this book.
