In his book, Lay Leadership for the Care of Souls, Aaron Perry provides direction for church leaders seeking to expand the role of laity in church leadership. Perry is the director of Wesleyan Academic Initiatives, bringing academic and church leadership experience to this book. He sets out to provide a resource “about the pastoral work of leading the laity in ministry so that they become leaders as well” (1). His goal is to support church revitalization efforts that align people within the church to its mission.
