Collaboration: Uniting Our Gifts in Ministry

I have read several articles and books on the subject of Collaborative Ministry - many by Sofield & Juliano. In preparing adults for ministry in our diocese, I have found their recent book "Collaboration: Uniting Our Gifts in Ministry" to be an excellent resource. The text is easy to read with excellent examples and good discussion questions. It is well documented with quotes from several church documents which truly affirm the role of the lay minister. I'd like to encourage every parish staff in our diocese to adapt the discipline of collaborative ministry. Collaboration: Uniting Our Gifts in Ministry is an excellent resource which may begin to make this process a reality.
