The Fire and the Clay

What does it mean to be a priest today? What sort of priest do we want? A group from the College of the Resurrection takes up the challenge of these questions in this lively and provocative book.

Issues on ordination of women and on the future shape of training for the ministry have shown that the Church must now urgently examine these fundamental questions.

The Fire and the Clay addresses this crucial issue in a positive, radical way. The picture of priesthood that emerges is both surprising and compelling, and is certain to stimulate further reflection and fresh debate.
