Publisher's Synopsis
Who are the clergy and what do they do? How do they relate to our life in Christ? This book tries to answer these questions and many others for children in a way that is simple and accessible. Starting with a discussion of the world before Christ, in which God was worshipped at the Temple of Jerusalem, this book then goes on to talk about the coming of the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, His sacrifice for us that replaced all other sacrifices, and how He established His Church on the foundation of the Apostles, who then appointed and ordained others to guide and care for Christ's body, the Church. It also explains each rank of the major clergy (deacons, priests, and bishops), what they do, what vestments they wear, and where they came from. It also touches on all the ways that the clergy serve as well as talking about how all of us are called to serve Christ, whatever our role.
