Whenever the faithful gather today it seems that the subject of church leadership quickly arises in the conversation. Not infrequently one hears the call for a more empowering leadership on the part of pastors and bishops so that laity will participate more fully and invest themselves more completely in the success of the faith community. Theology professor and writer, Rev. Michael J. Himes provides foundation leaders with a lively interchange on the notions of power and authority, the crisis of imagination within the church, and the need for more discussion on the meaning of the sacrament of baptism.
