DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Searching for answers in the midst of the sexual abuse crisis in the church, many blamed the clerical culture. But what exactly is this clerical culture? We may know it when we see it, but how can we 'whether clergy or laypeople 'go about dismantling it and putting in place a new, healthy culture? George Wilson has spent decades working with organizations to help them discover, and often recover, their foundational calling. He is also a Jesuit priest engaged in the lives of congregations. In Clericalism: The Death of Priesthood he brings together both capacities and gives his sense of the challenges facing the church. As members of the church, Wilson maintains, we are all responsible for creating a clerical culture. And we are also responsible for that culture's transformation. Clericalism aids this transformation by helping us examine some underlying attitudes that create and preserve destructive relationships between ordained and laity. After looking at the crisis and establishing where we are now, this book challenges us with concrete suggestions for changing behaviors. We are lay and ordained, but all baptized into the royal priesthood of 1 Peter 2:9, all called to spread the Gospel and do the work of God's love in the world. Ultimately, this is a hopeful book, looking for the restoration of a genuine priesthood, free of clericalism, in which we become truly united in Christ..

Toward the solution of this problem an architect, whose pen is as pointed as his pencil is cunning, has contributed, in the third chapter, a mass of piquant and practical counsel. The fourth chapter finds the pastor at home, and discusses in a lively, homely, sympathetic way the questions concerning the domestic life of the parsonage, and the relations Of the people to the pastor and his family. The wisdom Of the Sunny Side and Shady Side literature of a former time will be found condensed in this chapter.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Practical Papers on Parish Problems This book will prove immensely valuable to pastors and to Christian workers of every class. The author has been for eleven years the honored president of the New York Baptist State Convention, and has a remarkably intimate knowledge of the churches that constitute the Convention. These churches number nearly a thousand, city and country, big and little, rich and poor. In all of them Doctor Granger is at home, and in many of them he is counted a valuable counselor. Before entering this general work, the author served city and country churches with marked ability and preeminent success. No living man has a profounder interest in our church life or a keener appreciation of our problems than the author of this book. This is not a volume of dry statistics, nor a scientific survey of church conditions. It is a volume of charmingly written articles full of common sense and sage philosophy.
