The Next Generation of Pastoral Leaders: What the Church Needs to Know
|
 The fifth and final volume from the first phase of the Emerging Models of Pastoral Leadership is now complete. The Next Generation of Pastoral Leaders: What the Church Needs to Know, by Dean R. Hoge and Marti R. Jewell is based on a report survey conducted by the late Dr. Hoge that provides a unique glimpse into the thinking and attitudes of young Catholic adults. In his Preface to the book, Most Rev. John Estabrook, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese for the Military Services states, in part, "Young adults are looking for their place in the Church. They desire to know more about Catholicism ... Currently young adults find it difficult to find pathways to full time ministry. They are seeking mentors and having trouble finding them. They possess gifts that will serve the needs of others, but the community of faith is doing little to help them recognize, explore and foster those gifts." The volume contains six chapters filled with tables and data. Commentaries are by Dr. Edward P. Hahnenberg, Rachel Hart Winter and Paul Jarzembowski. Available in March 2010 for $11.95 from NFPC, 333 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1205, Chicago, IL 60601. Tel: toll free: (888) 271-NFPC (6372). Or (312) 442-9700. Fax: (312) 442-9700.
