Blogger Gladys Ganiel talks to Martin Murray, ACI Steering Group [14th July]
“There may well be more laity on the shop floor or behind the reception desk, but the manager’s office out back, or the boardroom upstairs is still out of bounds, other than to receive the latest clerical directive” Martin Murray told Gladys Ganiel...
50 Years Receiving Vatican II: A Personal Odyssey by Kevin Kelly (2012)

The Common Priesthood of the People of God and the Renewal of the Church
