In the Convent: A Frances Yates Mystery
In the Convent: A Frances Yates Mystery By: Marjorie G. Jones In the sequel to In the Cards, Hermetic scholar Dame Francis Yates is invited by a former student Juan Carlos Ortiz to Mexico City with the intent to speak in the convent of seventeenth century feminist nun, Sor Juana de la Cruz.

Parish Finance
Most Catholic parishes struggle with issues like budgeting, internal financial controls, and financial planning. Canon law places the responsibility for parish finances squarely on the lap of pastors, who typically aren't versed in financial matters. Many parishes employ a parish business manager, but their background and competence in addressing these critical issues varies widely. Here is a single comprehensive source to guide them through the steps needed to ensure an effective, accountable, and transparent financial process.
Best Practices of Catholic Pastoral and Finance Councils
Every Catholic parish has a pastoral council and a finance council, but how many fulfill the mission they were set up to serve? These councils are among the most important but least understood structures in the Catholic Church. Mandated to exist, their roles have become increasingly critical as parishes--both large and small--are stretching personnel and financial resources further and further each year.

The function of these councils is to provide consultation to the p...

However, these cases are consistently underexposed and understudied in the policy literature which, for various reasons, tends to focus on policy mistakes and learning from failures rather than successes. In fact, studies of public policy successes are rare not just in Canada, but the world over, although this has started to change (McConnell, 2010, 2017; Compton & 't Har...
The Gift of Administration
In his First Letter to the Corinthians Paul cites “administrators” as one of God’s gifts to the Christian community (1 Cor 12:28). But many who serve in administrative service today have difficulty seeing how their everyday work is an expression of discipleship. This book, written by an experienced administrator and noted biblical scholar, shows how the various functions of institutional administration are deeply rooted in the Scriptures and are a genuine expression of our call to discipleship. Leadership, mission statements and planning, finances and fund raising, personnel issues, communications, and public relations—all of these seemingly “secular” activities serve to build up the Body of Christ and deserve to be recognized as authentic Christian ministry. To see administrative service as a biblically rooted gift can help those involved in this way of life to find deeper and more satisfying spiritual meaning in what they do.
