TRINITY AND MINISTRY Peter Drilling boldly employs Christianity's deepest insights about God to illuminate its most pressing questions about ministry. The equality, diversity, and mutuality that characterize God's trinitarian life. he argues, offer decisive direction for resolving nettling dilemmas of lay and ordained ministry, women in ministry, ecumenical unity in min-istry, inculturation, and spiritual formation. "A major and challenging contribution to our ongoing study of Christian ministry. Three elements in a special way contribute to its distinctive value for both theologians and those actively engaged in ministry: the linkage of trinitarian theology to a theology of ministry, a consistent stress on communio as the controlling objective of Christian ministry, and the application to ministry of Bernard Lonergan's and Walter Conn's reflection on religious conversion." BERNARD J. COOKE College of the Holy Cross "Peter Drilling's book is a beautiful synthesis of Catholic and Evangelical principles in shaping a theology of the church's ministry that is faithful to the gospel. In selecting a trinitarian paradigm he has fruitfully placed the entire ecumenical debate on the ministry within a framework that can help to overcome the remaining church-dividing obstacles. CARL E.
