"... it is widely recognised that the problem is not non-stipendiary ministry itself but a more fundamental confusion over the prieshood/ministry as a whole. Central to this is the relationship between the ministry of the whole priestly people of God and the role of those ordained to episcopal, presbyterial and diaconal ministries. " [Quote p 92 from John Hind's contribution Varieties of Priesthood ]

"For many centuries western Christianity has been characterised by a scarecely veiled dualism. Against this there has been a reaction in favour of holism and an integrated vision but this has its own danger of a naive optimism and monism. The old dualism dies hard however and is frequently replaced by its mirror image: Church good world bad gives place to world good Church bad. Even when this neo-dualism is avoided there is still a tendency to see the destiny of the world as something that is inherent in the world itself." [Quote p 93 from Hind again]
