Promise and Hope
BILL HUEBSCH
Discerning and Becoming a Parish of Accompaniment
A groundbreaking work in theological reflection, Promise and Hope presents a pastoral theology of accompaniment that responds to Pope Francis’ urgent call to put Jesus—who reverenced the poor, the needy, the invisible, the “other”—at the center of the church’s ministry. It provides a framework for creating parishes of accompaniment that are open, welcoming, healing and discerning. It offers practical steps toward clearly and compassionately responding to the often messy reality of human living within the context of faithful discipleship. Most of all, it challenges the entire church to move beyond elitism and cronyism, toward a community grounded in relationship with Christ and each other. Perfect for both academic settings, parish leaders, and adult faith formation, this text is a must-read for any thoughtful, engaged Catholic who cares deeply about the church’s future.
