"... a growing sense among Christians that they constitute a complex and varied comminity with many different roles and functions.  This vision of the Church as old as the New Testament was never entirely lost but was certainly eclipsed during a long period of Christian history.  A sharp line ran between the leadership role of the priest and the relative passivity of the laity.  Today there is recognition that the Church not only contains but needs many roles and functions in its administration witness and service as well as in its liturgy." [Quote p 11]
