Description
Summary:The author seeks to develop a systematic understanding of the orders of ministry within a broader framework of the mission of the Church. He uses Lonergan's notion of the functional specialty, systematics, and general and special categories initiated by Lonergan and further refined by Robert Doran. Specifically, he seeks to give a systematic account of the distinctions between episcopal, presbyteral and diaconal ministries in the Church. Further, he uses this account to analyse certain issues in the theology of ministry.
