Chapter 23: Introduction
In this chapter, Tim introduces the section “Align Everything”. If our new vision as a parish is to make disciples, we should re-analyze everything we do as a parish in light of that core mission. We call this mission alignment; drifting away from that mission causes dysfunction.
Chapter 24: What are We Trying to do With Alignment?
What is the point of alignment? Tim answers with this statement: “If we are going to prioritize evangelization making disciples, then all things (ministries, communications, hospitality, fundraising) in our parish should prioritize evangelization and making disciples.”
Chapter 25: Key Ministry Tactics
Tim provides 5 key ministry tactics to align everything you have learned practically in your parish. He discusses these tactics in the areas of Religious Education, RCIA, The Sunday Experience, Sacramental Preparation, and Key Holidays/ other “On Ramps”.
Chapter 26: Conclusion
Tim gives a final fervorino to all parish leaders, encouraging them that this is a particularly special time in history to be focusing on the parish. The laity are the key to renewing our Faith in our culture and in our world.
