Freedom for Ministry

Taking a look at today''s Church and religious situation, Neuhaus argues that there is a necessary awkwardness about Christian ministry because we are ambassadors of a "disputed sovereignty." Neuhaus also discusses the minister as leader of worship and the art, discipline, and "absurd responsibility" of being a preacher.

Richard John Neuhaus was editor in chief of the journal First Things and president of the Institute on Religion and Public Life, a research and education institute in New York City. He was the author of many books including Death on a Friday Afternoon, Appointment in Rome, and The Catholic Moment. Neuhaus passed away on January 8, 2009.
