Pre-Owned Made for Mission : Renewing Your Parish Culture (Paperback) 9781681924588

The statistics are heartbreaking. From 2007 to 2014, Americans who identified as Catholic dropped from 24 to 21 percent. "Nones" are now the largest religious group in the United States. Catholics are simply walking away from the Church. Many committed Catholics desperately want to stem this tide. We are called to be part of the mission, for the sake of our members, and for those who are still outside the Church. Yet while we long for renewal, we are often at a loss. How do we start? How will we measure success? How long will it take? In Made for Mission: Renewing Your Parish Culture, author and speaker Tim Glemkowski offers keys that can radically change parish culture: Cast the vision, prioritized a clear path to discipleship, mobilize leaders, and align everything. By implementing these keys, parishes can become not only places for worship but seedbeds of discipleship and missionary outposts of the New Evangelization. This book is a must read for Catholic clergy, lay parish staff, anyone working in ministry, and any dedicated parishioner who is passionate about renewing the Church. Book jacket.
