New book: 'New Religious Movements in the Catholic Church' Edited by Father Michael Hayes

A book, 'New Religious Movements in the Catholic Church', edited by Father Michael Hayes, Vice-Principal of St Mary's College, Twickenham, has just been published.

The book is based on a series of ground-breaking lectures given at St Mary's two years ago.

The book looks at evangelization in the Catholic Church from the perspective of Ecclesial Movements. Included in the series of lectures are  details of the  founders and members of these worldwide movements.

The book outlines key historical developments and as well as offering a cultural and theological reflection on the Church and Christian life today through the particular perspective of the spirituality of selected movements.

Dr Arthur Naylor, Principal of St Mary's College, said, 'I would like to thank Michael Hayes for his vision, energy and expertise in planning this second series of lectures.

He added: "He did well to bring to St Mary's the founders and those with close links to the foundation of ecclesial movements to deliver these lectures and to and carry the project forward so quickly into print.'

Fr Michael Hayes, as well as being Vice Principal,  is Head of the School of Theology, Philosophy and History at St Mary's College.

He has also published 'Mission and Evangelization -the Vision of the Cardinals', and 'Contemporary Catholic Theology - A Reader.'

'New Religious Movements in the Catholic Church' is published by Burns and Oates. IBSN  0-86012-384-7.
