Laypeople have a special mission in the church the way they have a special mission in society. In popular devotions the laity created a form of spirituality that lasted for over a millennium. Vatican II redirected lay spirituality toward the liturgy as "the source and summit." We will visit a parish where this ideal is put into practice, but in the wider church the role of the laity came to be restricted to ecclesial ministries.
This book will introduce you to six or seven major forms of spirituality alive today, including the vibrant evangelical church, the charismatic renewal, the spirituality of social justice. Each of them defines a special place and mission for the laity in the church.
