Bivocational: Returning to the Roots of Ministry by Mark Edington

5.0

Admittedly for a narrow audience, I found this book to be marvelous in both its affirmation of my own understanding and a challenge to deepen it. Rather than simply stopping with a description of this emerging style of ministry for ordained individuals, Edington goes on to describe the attributes of the new bivocational parishes as well. But Edington goes on to describe the impact this trend may have on both church polity as well as theology. It was very satisfying, is now filled with pencil markings, and can be a great focus for subsequent discussion.
