Christ’s Idea of Authority in the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“John Wijngaards’s book is a timely collection of reflections proposing a Christocentric model of authority in the Church. Highly relevant in the light of Pope Francis’s synodality, a journeying together through authentic dialogue, recognition, and embrace of the sensus fidelium, grounded in ‘reality’ and experiential learning. This learning invites all the faithful to reflect on authentic authority in the Church based in service, not power. I recommend this to individuals, faith groups, and parish communities.”
