"Creating the Evangelizing Parish challenges those who realize the importance of evangelization and are eager to make an impact on Catholic Church life today. Co-authors Frank DeSiano and Kenneth Boyack clearly explain the definition of evangelization and offer for further clarification, an "encounter model" of evangelization which specifically places the ministry into the framework of personal relationships. The authors then describe actual parish dynamics and organization in terms of their universal evangelizing purposes as understood by the church." "Creating the Evangelizing Parish is key reading for church leaders who want to take charge of their parishes' direction, establish evangelization teams, and implement effective parish strategies for renewal. Every pastor, pastoral staff member, parish counselor, and other workers in evangelization will gladly welcome this book as a pastoral and practical resource for their ministry. Creating the Evangelizing Parish will richly reward those who look for new directions in their ministry and the church."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

DeSiano begins with the question: "What does God ask of us?" He answers: God asks us "to be disciples" -- to follow Jesus with our hearts, our minds, and our strength within a community of faith. He looks at holiness and spirituality from the point of view of discipleship -- being invited on a journey and being able to persevere on the road until life's fulfillment. He sketches a spiritual path that is neither rigid nor lax, and that all can follow. Book jacket.
