THE STATUS AND MINISTRY OF THE LAITY IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH : Trans. Evie Zachariades-Holmberg
Karmiris, John N.
Holy Cross Press, 1992
52 pages

This book examines the role of the laity in teaching, missionary, devotional, social and administrative ministries. “Orthodox theology does not acknowledge any ontological difference between the ‘clergy’ and ‘laity’ other than that of ordination, contrary to what Western theology professed at the Council of Trent” (p. 8).

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us."

2 Corinthians 5:18-20 (NIV)
