On priesthood: servants, shepherds, messengers, sentinels and stewards

Trama

Messenger, sentinel, steward: these three words have been used to describe the work of a priest in the Church of England since Cranmer wrote the original ordination rite in 1550. Two more, servant and shepherd, were added in 1980. Taken together, these five metaphors provide a rich and resonant set of ideas through which to explore the nature of Christian ministry.
