"A comprehensive view of the history, status, and key themes surrounding the comparatively new phenomenon of lay ecclesial ministry. This is essential reading for those interested in church ministry."-Susan K. Wood, SCL, Marquette University
"Zeni Fox's new book is exactly what the American Church needs to guide it in the most important development of pastoral practice in its history. Here are the right questions, the right people to answer them, and the right perspective to clarify this formidable gift of the Holy Spirit."—Paul Philibert, OP, Congar Institute for Pastoral Development; author of Priesthood of the Faithful

In Lay Ecclesial Ministry, theologians and pastoral leaders from diverse disciplines provide a deeper understanding, envision future direction, and offer inspiration for these new ministers and the community of the church.
