The Cross of Ministry - Lectures on Service and Discipleship

The Cross of Ministry - Lectures on Service and Discipleship collects the lectures and guidance of Fr Bishoy Kamel for priests and servants, for everyone who serves in the Church.

Fr Bishoy's ministry rested on four principles rooted in the Cross: love, faith, discipleship and self-denial. His genuine love for the crucified and risen Christ fuelled his ministry and shaped his approach to service.

He believed a true Christian servant embraces self-denial, follows Christ as a disciple and carries their own cross, sharing in Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. Only in this way can a servant help others carry their cross and rise with Christ. Through years of devoted service and teaching, he bore the cross of ministry himself, and always stressed the central place of the Cross in every servant's life.

His lectures have been gathered and reworked to make them easier to read, giving practical insight into ministry.
