Produktbeschreibung

Ordained Local Ministry is the latest initiative by
the Church of England to increase its supply of
priests but what is it like to be an OLM? Little
academic work has been done on the experience of
recently ordained clergy, this study breaks new
ground in its evaluation of the people involved and
their experiences. The report Stranger in the Wings
(1998) encouraged the growth of OLM as a ministerial
mode, in this book the authentic voice of that
stranger can be heard describing the ministry of the
new deacon and priest. David Vannerley interviewed
the first OLMs in Canterbury Diocese to explore their
initial ministerial experience presenting an unusual
academic study of such a clergy group. The data
generated by the interview process is then subject to
critical analysis that makes use of recent Anglican
thinking on ministry, especially the most recent
ordination services and the Canterbury model of the
Marks of the Priestly Person. This book will be help
to those engaged in exploring ministerial theology as
well as those involved in the selection or initial
and post-ordination training of clergy. Ordinands
will also find much of interest in the comments of
their forerunners.
