Emerging models of ministry

In this "Herald of Hope" column in our Catholic Herald, Bishop Richard J. Sklba, back from some more conferences, wrote on one such model, lay men and women serving as parish directors.
We began the experiment in 1994 with the appointment of four parish directors.

How far have we come in thirteen years?
We currently have four parish directors in our archdiocese...

Diogenes at Off the Record is skeptical, for other reasons, that this means Help is on the way.

    Why is the priest called "the assisting priest"? Sounds like an improper emphasis.

  2. Not to mention the emphasis on "coordinating" parish life when the problem is parish death.
