What's the proper role for a lay Catholic?
- Being a Eucharistic minister or fighting for better education on the city school board?
- Teaching a First Communion class or opposing abortion in the hospital where you're a nurse?
- Serving as a husband-wife lector team or reaching out to hurting couples in the neighborhood?
- What should the Catholic laity be doing?
Ministry or Apostolate: What Should the Catholic Laity Be Doing?, by Russell Shaw, makes the distinction between lay ministry (service roles in parishes and programs of the Church) and lay apostolate (carrying Gospel values out into the world). It gives a surprising, provocative answer to the question it asks.
Ministry or Apostolate? encourages men and women of Faith to commit wholeheartedly to the vocation of the laity as defined by Vatican Council II: "To make the Church present and fruitful in those places and circumstances where it is only through them that she can become the salt of the earth."
