Abstract

Prior to the Second Vatican Council, pastoral ministry was understood as almost exclusively a clerical function. After the Council, a new phenomenon emerged of paid ministerial positions. The US bishops developed a theological framework for this phenomenon and named it lay ecclesial ministry. This project examines the developing theological understanding of lay ecclesial ministry, with focus on the human resource issues that surfaced with the emergence of the role of pastoral associate. It makes recommendations to address those challenges and suggests concrete policies to assist dioceses in supporting the vocation and implementing the role of pastoral associate.
