This book is a collection of essays that approaches the contemporary episcopacy from a variety of perspectives and theological disciplines, is appreciative of Vatican II while looking to the future, and pays tribute to Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland, O.S.B., a recognized leader of the post-conciliar Church in the United States. The essays, each written by a bishop or theologian, explore what it means to be a bishop implementing that Council at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
