Description
This book explores transformative renewal in the Catholic Church. Both practical and systematic, it examines 6 pastoral initiatives unfolding at local level, and their coherence with the synodal path inaugurated by Pope Francis, to argue that the Church is on the cusp of incipient development of tradition. It promotes mutual learning with integrity between different ecclesial perspectives, rooted in patience as spiritual power, enabling contemplative purposefulness in a renewal-journey which cannot be completed easily, quickly or completely.
John O'Brien lived as a witness to the Gospel in Pakistan for 32 years before becoming Assoc. Prof. of Theology (Research) at Durham University.
