Parish Uses Lay Calling to Reach 1500 Families
St. John's Episcopal Church in Royal Oak confronts size by launching a ministry of the laity. Volunteers call 1500 families to visit at least once yearly, update church records, and discuss parish needs. Canon John M. Shufelt says the program, not a clerical replacement, follows a God given task of active witness.
