In Ministry in Three Dimensions, Steven Croft outlines the
challenges - greater geographical and social mobility, and older,
smaller congregations, for example - that today's society presents
to the churches, explaining that models of mission and ministry
which were once perfectly adequate no longer work in this new
situation. The author identifies some of the potentially harmful
ways in which attempts have been made to meet these new challenges,
suggesting the use of secular management models as one such false
trail. Far better and more fruitful is to recover a
biblically-based understanding of ministry. In scripture and
through Church history he explores the dimensions of ministry
indicated by three different Greek words found in the New
Testament: diakonia, presbyteros and episcope, uncovering the rich
tradition surrounding what it means to be an ordained leader in the
Church. Steven Croft draws out insights from which a new, relevant
understanding of ordained ministry can be built across the
denominations, and explores how to put these insights into
practice, suggesting ways in which each minister can balance the
three dimensions in their own setting.
