Description
In a series of interviews, Bob Wilkinson looks at the different ministries he has had in his almost seventy years of being a Catholic priest in Australia. The common element has been working with lay people discovering their mission in the world. He sees the church as a partner in the world, and the need to locate the Christian mission of baptism within the human mission. The human vocation is to save the planet and the vocation of Christians, and the vocation of the church, is to humanise humanity in this process. Can ‘Mother’ and ‘Master’ become ‘Partner’? New Visions of Priesting, as outlined in this series of interviews, is one where the priest can imagine new styles of action: accompanying lay people to discover that mission in their daily lives.
About the Author: From serving as editor of Adelaide Catholic newspaper, The Southern Cross, to being among people in neighbourhood communities (BEC’s), student groups (YCS and TYCS) as well soon after his ordination with young workers (YCW), Fr Bob Wilkinson has been an effective and respected communicator in his over 65 years of priesting. This book is a series of interviews with ATF Press where Bob speaks about his life and varied ministries.
