The time has come, Edward Zaragoza argues, to lay a new foundation for how we understand ordained ministry. He begins by reminding us that, on the basis of the priesthood of all believers, clergy are ministers with, rather than servants of, the congregation. Building on the horizontal nature of this relationship, he suggests that we begin to think of a friendship model of ministry. In this timely and constructive theological analysis, Zaragoza offers a new pardigm for understanding the function of ordained ministry in the life of the congregation.
