Description
Bishop Stephen Cottrell explores the rich and resonant set of ideas behind five metaphors used to describe the work of a priest in the Church of England. These metaphors, including messenger, sentinel, steward, servant, and shepherd, have been used since Cranmer wrote the original ordination rite in 1550. In this short and lyrical book, Cottrell delves into each metaphor, drawing on his own addresses to ordinands on the night before their ordination. A refreshing, challenging and accessible exploration of Christian ministry, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone considering ordination or already in ministry.
