Teresa Morgan is Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at Oriel College, Oxford, and a self-supporting priest in the parish of Littlemore. She is the author of a number of popular and academic books and her poetry has appeared in literary magazines including the Rialto, Strand Magazine, Critical Quarterly and New Welsh Review.

Every-person Ministry is based on the conviction that every Christian shares a mission - to be a channel for the Holy Spirit so the reconciling love of God in Christ may flow throughout the world. Each of the first four chapters of the book discusses a different kind of ministry: neighbourly love; the importance of listening to people; the potential we all have to speak and act prophetically; and when and how we should forgive one another and seek reconciliation. Later chapters focus on attending to our own relationship with God, with guidance on defusing the 'unhelpful passions' which block the action of the Spirit in us; reflections on daily prayer; and an exploration of the way we articulate and explain our faith.

Morgan, Teresa

Affirming and absorbing spiritual reading, with many helpful stories and anecdotes, this book encourages us to engage in practical ministry right where we are. It is based on the conviction that every Christian shares a mission - to be a channel for the Holy Spirit so the reconciling love of God in Christ may flow throughout the world.

The Good Book Stall

Teresa Morgan offers an inclusive, distinctive and compelling journey into Christian obedience and usefulness. There is a freshness and dynamic central to this title. The conviction of how the Holy Spirit offers the reconciling love of God through us to flow for the gain of the whole world, is a majestic vision worthy of great application, and is one of the strongest parts of this title. The passions and the blocks in all our lives was a particularly gritty element to this writing. Attentiveness is particularly the quality and chapter that I relished most from Teresa Morgan’s writing.   
The essence of this work is about where we will serve and how we will minister for the sake of many in Christ’s Kingdom. Joyful, fresh and inspiring!
