Description
Seen from the angle on an Anglican parish
priest, this is a call to return to the base values of vocation; which is to
pray and intercede for others as we listen to God through careful reading of
scripture. The ancient monastic craft of Lectio Divina is seen as a window
through which God can be heard and understood and in which there should be a context
for ministry. This book examines how Monastic spirituality is seen as a basis
for parish ministry as well, using as it does the gifts of God in ministry and
through an intellectual approach to study.
This book asserts that a regular life
pattern is necessary in those circumstances, as it is in parish ministry.
