Lay Spirituality

Theology

“Employing the sociological tools of his profession, Pierre Hegy identifies a general absence of a solid lay spirituality in the contemporary Catholic Church. He rightly notes that official church documents fail to identify in a practical way how the laity can live their vocation as part of the universal call to holiness. Readers will enjoy examples that point toward a genuine lay vocation, especially the examples from his work in Guatemala. As with Wake Up Lazarus! Hegy’s text will promote some vibrant discussions.”
