Sommario/riassunto

This book presents pertinent historical pastoral research considerations of the identity crisis in the priesthood requiring reconciliation of the hierarchical authority structures which have impaired authentic Christological pastoral leadership. It explores infrastructural models for an ecumenical church integrating denominational divisions with leadership reconciling Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox ministerial



structures.
