Ministry is for everyone, not just the clergy. The leadership of every
church, parish and congregation in the land is the responsibility of the
whole of that community. Churches need leadership, but that leadership
will empower the whole congregation, fusing them into a dynamic, outward
looking community, bearing witness to the powerful message of the
Gospel. This book provides practical resources for groups of people who
want to: work with God for the well-being of the world: becoming a
ministering community: develop local, collaborative and supportive
ministry: encourage a partnership between clergy and laity: grow dynamic
leadership for mission: sustain and support local ministry teams:
introduce local ordained ministry into a team.
