Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In this sequel to the landmark document on the laity, Called and Gifted (also available separately from USCC), the U.S. bishops reflect on the lay vocation, especially as it has evolved in recent years. The bishops take note of the explosion in lay ecclesial ministry, the growing influence of small Christian communities, the deepened understanding of the laity's call to holiness, increased lay participation in church life at all levels--to name just a few significant developments. Called and Gifted for the Third Millennium identifies some of the challenges that these developments identify. Discussion questions invite readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of the statement. This document is also available in Spanish: No. 5-003.
