Highly recommended for parish leaders and staffs, DREs, catechists, RCIA teams, and all parish ministers. Also ideal for college students as an introductory ecclesiology text, The Many Marks of the Church encourages reflection on the responsibilities of "being church" in the third millennium.

One, holy, catholic and apostolic: these marks have distinguished orthodox Christianity since the fifth century. Today, however, the Church is known by many other characteristics; e.g., it is prayerful, intellectual, catechetical, biblical, ecological, and sacramental. In this timely book, William Madges and Michael Daley invite over forty authors and theologians to reflect on both the traditional and contemporary marks of the Church. Contributors include: Dianne Bergant, Mary C. Boys, Cardinal Avery Dulles, Robert Ellsberg, Thomas Groome, Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton, and Monika K. Hellwig. Highly recommended for parish leaders and staffs, DREs, catechists, and all parish ministers.
