The Hopes and Challenges of Parish Leadership
“You are the authorities on how to pastor, how to staff, how to care for God’s people in your own places,” says Marti Jewell at the beginning of her lecture. She is the director of the Emerging Models of Pastoral Leadership Project, a joint endeavor of the National Association for Lay Ministry and five other national Catholic associations, that identifies and supports “vibrant parishes” and works to “stimulate a national conversation about the use of pastoral imagination.” Nearly one-half of parishes share their pastor with at least one other parish, and this phenomenon, she asserts, creates the need for new approaches to parish organization and leadership. Jewell describes some of the successful models her group has found.
