Renewing Parish Culture - Building for a Catholic Future

Informationen zum Autor By John J. Piderit S.J. and Melanie M. Morey Klappentext In this volume Piderit and Morey discuss the problem of declining parishes and bring some solutions to light. The authors pinpoint four basic principles - narrative, norms, benefits, and practices - which have been used effectively by nuns to reach their parishioners for years. In addition, they prescribe creative applications of these principles to address specific problems such as Mass attendance, Eucharistic culture, prayer, and religious education.
