Excerpts from Dr. Irineo Alvaro Jr.’s book ‘Do You Think You Can Manage A Parish?

A MAN of AGE in R

The Mind that plans Anchored to Christ. Weaving a Network of believers in most Artistic Ways. The true Guardian of our depository of Faith and the Epitome of lowliness .. in Rhythm with the Lord’s mission on earth..

“It is always important that the manager is anchored on the vision set from the beginning or else he will just be drifted away by the fickle of people or public demands.”

“People have different views, different opinions, and different styles. One major task of a local church manager is to gather these differences, where, instead of colliding with one another, the challenge is to unite them like a web under one central core.”

“But without meekness, there can be no obedience and without obedience there can be no true faith.”

“The common defensive misplay of religious leaders is defining ‘pastoral’ as mere act that can be done for the maintenance of a parish. But pastoral work is not just about preserving the status quo, but more on enriching a web of profound relationship of ‘man to God, man to man, man to world’.”

“The world is changing fast. The advent of social media broke down the barriers of culture.”

“The challenge is not only to avoid being forgotten when they leave or retire from their place of assignment but also to reach that spirit of engraving a legacy or the deepest yearning to belong to one of the ‘tandas ‘a mark, an encapsulation of matanda (a elder) to the local church.”

“There can never be true obedience without an open ear..”

“Many had fallen into the pit of forgetting the practice of stretching one’s mind because of too much reliance on the reliance of the instants that Google, Facebook, Twitter and other social media provide on their fingertips.”

“Just like putting the rhythm on musical instruments, a manager can create harmony amidst disparity and diversity.”

“The job is not limited to raising fund for the parish, nor preaching a good sermon on a Sunday or visiting the sick and praying for the flock but it shall also involve creating the harmony inside and outside the four walls of parish.”
