Abstract	[Extract] The authors of this highly relevant book state that “there are few formation programs for lay persons who hold canonical authority and have responsibility for ensuring and promoting the mission for which the Church organization was created in the first place.” On the basis of this disturbing evidence-based conclusion the authors proceed to clarify in clear, practical terms the types of knowledge, skills and other attributes that these people urgently need today. And the formation process they propose must be based on the principles of reflective adult learning. For all responsible for maintaining the Catholic identities of our ministries in our rapidly changing postmodern world, especially in healthcare and education, this book is a must.
