Some ministers know
Christian initiation very well but struggle to make it work in the rural and
small-town setting. Others know rural and small-town life well but
struggle to implement Christian initiation in a way that is faithful to the
ritual text. This webinar will bring Christian initiation and
rural/small-town ministry into a dialogue so the participants may become more
confident in their efforts to apprentice others into the Faith in the rural or
small-town parish.
Msgr. Clay is a pastor in
the Diocese of Raleigh, NC. He has served the Church in parochial,
diocesan and national ministry. He received his doctorate from The
Catholic University of America in liturgical studies and focused on the
adaptation of the Rite
of Christian Initiation of Adults in the rural and small-town
setting. He has presented workshops in over 70 dioceses in the United
States and Canada on the pastoral implementation of the Catechumenate and is
the author of A
Harvest for God: Christian Initiation in the Rural and Small-Town Parish,
published by Liturgy Training Publications.
