New Models for Episcopal Leadership in a Global Church
The Catholic church has always remained committed to the need for the office of the bishop to preserve the church's unity and the integrity of its apostolic faith. However, it is legitimate to wonder whether in the global church of the twenty-first century a new vision of church leadership is needed, one that remains faithful to our tradition but which is also open to the unique demands of our time. This presentation will review basic Catholic teaching regarding the office of the bishop and then propose some models for a new vision of episcopal leadership.
