A vital parish reaches beyond itself to make a difference in the world. This ground-breaking book offers innovative insights into the shared work of laity and the ordained in the "mission field" today.
Msgr. James Gaston and Sr. Brenda Hermann draw from their extensive experience in the facilitation of and consultation with pastoral councils to present a clear understanding of "counsel in council" for the modern world. They explore the obstacles to effective pastoral leadership and offer practical guidelines for overcoming them.
Rooted in the historical significance of true counsel for Church councils, this book outlines four spiritual methods available for pastoral councils. In addition, the authors examine the virtues of prudence, wisdom, counsel, and fortitude as essential virtues for an effective pastoral council.

Msgr. James Gaston. A priest of the Diocese of Greensburg, PA, he has been associated with pastoral councils at the parish, regional, and diocese levels throughout his nearly four decades of ministry. After ordination, he pursued graduate studies in Spirituality at Fordham University. In the 1990's he was directly involved in developing diocesan guidelines for pastoral councils in the Diocese of Greensburg, PA (New Wine, New Wineskins) which have subsequently been implemented in other US dioceses. In that same period he developed and introduced a seminary course on pastoral leadership at St. Vincent Seminary, Latrobe, PA. As a pastor, more recently, he has experienced an evolution in the understanding of pastoral councils beyond the primary role of planning.
