Freedom for MinistryTaking a look at today's Church and religious situation, Neuhaus argues that there is a necessary awkwardness about Christian ministry because we are ambassadors of a "disputed sovereignty." Neuhaus also discusses the minister as leader of worship and the art, discipline, and "absurd responsibility" of being a preacher. |
