FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Lay preaching - preaching rendered by a baptized Christian who has not been ordained a deacon, priest, or bishop - has been a growing issue of concern since the mid-1980s. Along with this concern, a new emphasis on the important role of the laity in spreading the Gospel has emerged. This emphasis has seen lay preaching develop into a common practice in many parts of the country. But if the needs of Gods people to hear the Word are to be met, a systematic approach must be taken to this timely and urgent issue. In Lay Preaching Patricia Parachini provides that approach.Preaching is a broad category (orgenus) which includes different types (or species) of preaching including pre-evangelistic preaching, evangelization, catechetical preaching or catechesis, preaching in church, and liturgical preaching. Although Parachini briefly discusses lay preaching in general, her primary focus in Lay Preaching is the most frequently debated type of preaching and the only type from which laity are regularly excluded: liturgical preaching.In the past ten years there has been a growing interest in the ministry of liturgical preaching among Roman Catholic men and women that are not ordained but minister in the Church. In Lay Preaching Parachini pays attention to that growing interest, while maintaining that people need to hear the Word preached to them well and effectively. She begins by highlighting significant moments in the history of lay preaching and addressing some of the major theological and liturgical concerns that are key to a discussion of preaching. Then, Parachini explains the pertinent canons on preaching from the 1983 revised Code of Canon Law. Finally, she describes current practices throughout the U.S. regarding lay preaching and raises fundamental questions that provide direction for the future.Chapters are A Historical Survey," "Mapping the Theological Terrain," "Perspectives of the 1983 Code of Canon Law," and "Present Realities, Future Possibilities."Patricia A.

Rivers, CSP, Director of Diocesan and Parish Services, Washington, DCLay Preaching presents a cogent and compelling development of lay preaching throughout the historical and Scriptural traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. Patricia Parachini believes that preaching flows from our baptismal call to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. This concept as well as her development of the place of lay preaching in both liturgical and non-liturgical settings will be of interest to both lay and ordained ministers in our Church today.Marti Jewell, Chair, National Association for Lay Ministry, Director of the Office of Ministry and Spirituality for the Archdiocese of Louisville. . . excellent and wide ranging survey. . .
