Description
Unfailing Patience and Sound Teaching, in honor of Rembert G. Weakland, O.S.B., commemorates his seventy-fifth birthday and twenty—fifth anniversary as Archbishop of Milwaukee. The title is inspired from the presentation of the Book of the Gospels during the Rite of Episcopal Ordination: “Receive the Gospel and preach the word of God with unfailing patience and sound teaching.” Contributors respond to the question.- What does episcopal ministry that embraces the tenets ofthe Second Vatican Council look like at the beginning of the twenty-first century? Essays fall under three headings: episcopal office, the bishop and dialogue, and episcopacy and contemporary culture.
