Transforming Priesthood offers a major theological reappraisal of
the present and future role of the parish priest in Britain.
Although written primarily with Anglicans in mind, the book is full
if insights for partner churches - especially for those in which
professional ministers and lay people recognize the need to
collaborate effectively in carrying forward the mission and
ministry of the whole Church. 'At last, here we have a practical,
imaginative, and intelligent vision of priesthood for today's
Church of England and beyond it. Dr Greenwood is widely experienced
in parish ministry as well as at diocesan level and in academic
theology. He is both realistic and theologically perceptive about
contemporary England and its churches. His analyses are convincing;
he is in touch with the livliest developments at local level and in
theological thinking; and at the heart of his prescription is a
relevant and passionate affirmation of the Trinitarian God. The
result is a book that should not only stimulate debate of the right
kind at a time of momentous change in all churches, it should also
help to nurture Christian vocations, both as laity and parish
priests.' David F Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of
Cambridge.
