Rev. Ayo Efodigbue, MSP, PhD, has just published a book Charisms for Ministry: An Exploration of How the Manifest Charisms in the Early Church Can Be Recovered and Restored for Ministry in the Catholic Church Today (Xulon Press, 2018). Father Ayo is a LIM alumnus (MPS '12); during his studies at LIM, he developed his focus on charism in his coursework. 

Charisms for Ministry looks at the scriptural foundations of charisms and their expression in the early church and posits that an attention to the roots of charism can help Catholics recover them for the practice of ministry today. In this way, FAther Ayo’s text engages in practical theology as it draws concrete applications for contemporary ministry.    

Congratulations, Father Ayo!
