Bishop Murphy composed this essay to offer his thoughts on the importance of embracing an expanded definition ‘ministry’ in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council. He shares the following thought in the essay, “‘Ministry’ as an idea and reality is at the heart of a revolution now going on within the Church. As an idea, ‘ministry’ is being explored theologically, scripturally, historically so that a clear understanding may be had regarding the response of the Christian community to the challenges of Vatican II.”
