From Library Journal:
Powers, a sociologist and a free priest, provides historical documentation of new visions of a more democratic Christian ministry. He recounts the founding of the Society of Priests for a Free Ministry (SPFM), its vision and call, its transformation into the Fellowship of Christian Ministries (FCM), its attempt to include women and others who never gained ordination into the Roman Catholic Church, and the eventual emergence of the Corps of Reserve Priests United for Service (CORPUS). Significant issues relating to hierarchical vs. democratic ministry, ordination vs. certification, ecumenism, community, and women are all discussed. This is an important book for Christian seminary libraries and large academic and public libraries as well.
