The Life And Work Of A Priest By John Pritchard

'Ministry is changing fast and to some priests the Church of today is hardly recognizable as the Church into which they were ordained. For some that's a source of bewilderment and even disillusion; for others, including those coming fresh to the life and work of a priest, it's a source of stimulus and challenge, adapting to a 'mixed-economy church' of both inherited models and fresh expressions. But there is one thing that I want to maintain with as much grace and encouragement as I can: the goal of ministry will always be the same - that men and women in every place may have life in all its fullness and abundance. And that fullness and abundance is meant equally for the priests of the Church of God.'     from a 'Word at the Beginning'

This book pays homage to Robert Martineau's The Office and Work of a priest, published in 1972, and much valued as a wise account of the duties of a priest at that time.
