A major theological study of ministry- an issue under discussion in every Christian church- contextualized within the realities of the South African situation.
What the church is and how it operates; the role of the ordained ministry in relation to the ministry in relation to the ministry of all the faithful; who articulates theology and how theology speaks to the needs of the church; who listens to theology and how it affects the lives of individuals and the working of the church body; how the life experience, and most notably the experience of devastating suffering which is the South African experience at the moment, feeds theology and ministry- these are some of the areas John de Gruchy covers here.
