Spearhead: Reshaping the Church to Engage the World
"The time has come to proclaim the kingdom of God like an arrow flying into the darkness, to plough deeply into the human lives placed on earth around us and to chart the course for a bold new journey".
Spearhead is a personal manifesto written with the specific purpose of challenging, inspiring and provoking new ways of thinking about the Church and its mission in the world. In it Pat proposes a bold vision for leaders, parents, teachers, young people and priests to lead the Catholic Church of today forward in a radical re-connection with culture in the world of the third millennium.
Inspired by the writing of Pope Francis and the vision that has shaped his own ministry, Spearhead is an exhortation to move forward in the ‘new evangelisation’ until the phrase is no longer necessary. Pat casts a vision of the Church as a fluid institution that speaks to the modern world, operates through grace over legalism, professes the good news of Jesus with contagious authenticity, overflows with young people and goes beyond itself to reach the world outside her borders - a Church of missionary disciples – one which Jesus could identify as his own.
