The Pastor: A SpiritualityFortress Press, 2006 - 141 sidor Renowned liturgical theologian Gordon Lathrop has composed a rich, meditative, and explicitly ecumenical spirituality for working pastors ? whatever and wherever they are called: preachers, priests, elders, ministers, seminarians.In Part One Lathrop urges pastors to become lifelong students of the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed, and the Commandments, continually inhabiting the questions, reversals and paradoxes of Christian life.In Part Two he elaborates on the pastor's chief activities ? presiding at the holy table, preaching, collecting for the poor ? "as the center and focus for pastoral identity and spirituality." Lathrop invites pastors to recenter their busy lives on God and fuel their ministry through prayer. |

Sida viii - This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. 3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court.
Sida 17 - God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
Sida 10 - When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Sida 16 - Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
Sida 9 - You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.

Sida 10 - I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
