CONFIDENT AND COMPETENT : A Challenge for the Lay Church
Droel, William L.& Gregory F.
Ave Maria, 1987
110 pages

According to the authors the church must remember that it is a means, not an end. An overemphasis on internal problems (such as membership and financing) has led to a neglect of lay spirituality based on work in the world. American Catholic lay-persons have developed fantastic liturgies and lay ministry teams, but until this renewal spreads to the neighborhoods and social institutions, say the authors, it will be self-serving. With respectful and constructive criticism, the authors examine vocation, the spirituality of work and social teaching. Recommended for Protestant as well as Catholic readers.
