This is a book (2001) which lists a sampling of 8 catholic parishes from around the country that are categorized as ‘excellent.’ Common traits are listed at the end as: (i) approach (ii) institutional life (iii) community (iv) the [lay] work and (v) spirituality. Wilkes says that there is no ‘best’ parish, since all evolve. But if all evolve, and they do, then these listed excellent parishes can’t themselves alone be exemplary. Wilkes quotes from the Great Gatsby that the golden rule is that all visitors and parishioners should be understood as they believe in themselves, themselves at their best. The church I’m currently at is listed but not described. Wilkes says that parishes that aren’t doing well lack vision (mostly meaning lay training and involvement). He does not say exactly how it is that the parishes could lack vision or persist that way. If he did that, this book might have been better. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In The Seven Secrets of Successful Catholics, well-known author Paul Wilkes pinpointed the special qualities that make individual Catholics successful. In his new book, he traveled the country to discover the qualities that make Catholic parishes successful -- excellent in some special way. The results of his search have produced an in-depth look at eight extraordinary parishes, a directory of hundreds of great parishes throughout the country, and listings of those traits common to excellence that other parishes can emulate.Wilkes sees his book as a survival guide for anyone picking a new spiritual home, as well as anyone-lay or clergy-working in a parish. Not every excellent parish excelled in every area, but together they touched on all aspects of parish life: from finances to devotions, social action to renovations, adult education to outreach to the unchurched. Also, the parishes themselves are widely different, ranging from inner city to suburban, conservative to liberal, co-pastorates to churches without a pastor, homogenous to ethnically diverse-showing that excellence can be produced anywhere.
