Priests to Each Other by Carlyle Marney
Is the role of clergy best defined by power or by servanthood? Does the laity have a substantive or a decorative place in the mission of the church? Will the clergy let go of the church and trust it to a laity who alone can incarnationally live out her mission? Priests to Each Other raises these and other questions, urging laity and clergy to rethink life in the local church. Carlyle Marney possessed the uncanny ability to see just beyond the horizon and anticipate issues churches would soon face. Who could have imagined when this book was first published all that would occur in Baptist life during the latter half of the twentieth century? Ahead of his time, Marney challenged us to embrace the priesthood of all believers.
Carlyle Marney (1916-1978) served as Pastor of First Baptist Church in Austin, Texas, and Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was also Executive Director of Interpreter's House, an ecumenical center for the study of renewal for clergy and laity, at Lambuth Inn in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina.
