The Pastor

Viac o knihe

Renowned liturgical theologian Gordon Lathrop has composed a rich, meditative, and explicitly ecumenical spirituality for working pastors whatever and wherever they are called: preachers, priests, elders, ministers, seminarians. In Part One Lathrop urges pastors to become lifelong students of the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed, and the Commandments, continually inhabiting the questions, reversals and paradoxes of Christian life. In Part Two he elaborates on the pastor's chief activities presiding at the holy table, preaching, collecting for the poor as the center and focus for pastoral identity and spirituality. Lathrop invites pastors to recenter their busy lives on God and fuel their ministry through prayer.
