EMPOWERING THE LAITY
Foley, Gerald
Sheed & Ward, 1986
199 pages

The concerns of the “Monday church” in the shops, factories, schools and homes are quite different from those addressed in Sunday liturgies or Wednesday night church education programs, says Foley. This represents a crisis in the Roman Catholic Church; new theologies of work, leisure, marriage, family and civic involvement are sorely needed. In this book Foley clearly, honestly and helpfully provokes, explains, mediates and suggests. “I trust that it will raise more questions than it answers,” he writes. The book is a worthy attempt to increase the Catholic Church’s relevance to the life of its members. Non-Catholics will find it helpful too. Discussion questions follow each chapter.
