TOMORROW'S CHURCH WHAT'S AHEAD
FOR
AMERICAN
CATHOLICS Hardback Book with Dust Jacket edited by Edward C. Herr Foreword by Robert E. Burns Over 225 pages Copyright © 1982 by the Thomas More Association The inside of the dust jacket says: " In the three decades since Vatican II, scores of books and articles, conventions and symposia have been devoted to the changes which have overtaken the Catholic Church.
Some have deplored them.
Others celebrate them and urge even more radical reforms.
But all agree that for better or worse, the church of yesterday is gone and the church of the present is still in flux, questing for a new vision and shape - a form that does not betray the past but which addresses the contemporary world effectively and forcefully. " " All would agree, too, that it is high time to begin to look ahead, to begin to work toward the realization of this "brave new church."
And that is precisely what the distinguished contributors of this book have done.
Ten noted specialists, writers and scholars look to the future. " " " Tomorrow's Church is an insightful and challenging treatment of a subject that could not be more important. Its contributors have done their job well, providing us with imaginative and thoughtful treatment of many perplexing questions. " " " Controversial, bold, substantive and, above all, challenging, Tomorrow's Church recommends itself to all Catholics concerned that the ferment of the present will give way to a new vision - a church that ministers, reveals the gospel of love, and inspires hope in all its members.
