This book explores the nature of the Christian church and the place for ministry and priesthood within the church. It examines the local and universal aspects of ministry, and the place of non-stipendiary and stipendary ministry, the roles of lay ministry and ordained ministry.

This book argues that the response for the church is to rediscover a vocation to be "a workshop of salvation", rather than a settled repository of fixed beliefs or behaviours. The call of the church is a path of formation and re-formation, a journey that can only be made in faith, in fellowship and through the mystery of fraction. Owning the paradox that the search for true freedom will be through the path of sacrifice and slavery. The church is called to challenge the limitations of democracy by offering a very different model - that of doulocracy. A vitally different basis for participation, for fulfilment and for witnessing to the coming of the kingdom of Heaven.

This book highlights an encouraging sign in the creation of the Clewer Initiative in the Church of England.

This book explores the idea of Anglican idenity through a study of major figures from Richard Hooker to Michael Ramsey, foucusing on their contribution to contemporary thinking about Christian spirituality, worship, mission. Theology and ministry.
