Terry V. (mistyks) reviewed About the book (from back cover) on 11/8/2008 + 21 more book reviews

In this resource book for parish staffs and leaders, Fr. Brennan addresses a subject that is often laden with difficulty--a need for parishes to engage in a ministry of reconciliation to returning and alienated Catholics.

This thought-provoking analysis recommends a blending of the RCIA and the ancient Order of Penitents into a remember, return, and rebirth process that gives greater care and ministry to the hurt or alienated member of the Church. An excellent companion book to "The Evangelizing Parish," this book includes model sessions to help the reconciling parish focus on the mysteries of the Creed, and an appendix composed of adaptations of the RCIA for this reconciliation process.
