Becoming Word for One Another: A Spirituality for Lectors by Richard R Gaillardetz

by Richard R. Gaillardetz

In their ministry, lectors do far more than simply read Scripture during the liturgy--lectors bring God's living presence to the faithful. In Becoming Word for One Another, Dr. Richard Gaillardetz explores the ways in which lectors exercise their ministry and considers the spirituality that lectors must develop to proclaim the Word of God effectively.
