Every church has far more work than any one person can do. Even a team of professionals is not enough. The New Testament solution was for every member to be a minister.Though the priesthood of all believers was a key idea in the Reformation, it is little practised today. Following secular models, churches usually organize around the clergy, who are paid by the laity to do the ministry.Paul Stevens argues that, according to Scripture, the primary task of a Christian leader is not to do the work but to equip the saints to do it. Exploring new options for pastors, tentmakers and laypeople, this book provides structures and strategies to best equip all the saints for ministry. 253877846138 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 253 Ste l E09007267 Non Fiction 253 Ste l-2 E91000508 Non Fiction 253 Ste l Liberating_the_laity.jpg 26211 2014-08-25 13:57:12 2025-10-30 16:23:30 machine generated
