History Renewal: How a Generation of Faithful Priests and Bishops is Revitalizing the Catholic Church by Anne Hendershott, Christopher White (review) Linda Kawentel From: American Catholic Studies Volume 125, Number 4, Winter 2014 pp. Stark and Finkes research looks at why some dioceses have more priestly vocations than others and discusses the relationship of diocesan culture to ordination rates. In my newly released book,Renewal: How a New Generation of Faithful Priests and Bishops is Revitalizing the Catholic Church, co-author Anne Hendershott and I aim to chronicle this good news and the signs of renewal that are to be found in the Church throughout the United States. It is surprising that Hendershott and White did not discuss Rodney Stark and Roger Finkes research on Catholic religious vocations (seen in The Churching of America, 17762005: Winners and Losers in Our Religious Economy (2005), Acts of Faith: Explaining the Human Side of Religion (2000), and a December 2000 article in the Review of Religious Research). We who are laity we who are called serve Christ through the unfolding of our baptismal graces, which is facilitated by the work of our priests and bishops are the beneficiaries of that service. When we started research for this project two years ago, we were surprised to find a noticeable uptick in vocation rates to the priesthood. Eisenhower Library. I highlyrecommend Renewal. Anne Hendershott and Christopher White's new book, Renewal: How the New Generation of Faithful Priests and Bishops Is Revitalizing the Catholic Church, delivers much more than even its title promises.

We are blessed by a number of bold and courageous leaders who are attracting men to follow in their footsteps.
