Poor Formation as a Principal Factor to the Crisis in Priesthood Today

About the Book

This book is on the spirituality of life crisis and formation. When this spirituality is denied or neglected, life is in crisis. The Church with its priesthood is losing its face and meaning in today’s world due to the evading crisis. How to define and contain this crisis in today’s world and cultures is what this book is all about. Without a well-grounded spirituality of formation, life is a bundle of crisis with a limited vision, meaning and purpose. This book is a-must-read for everyone, especially school teachers, college professors, seminary formators, bishops, priests, religious men and women, students/seminarians, and aspirants to religious life.
