Updated November 21, 2003

Hundreds of jobs -- professional, administrative, clerical, ministerial and even some secular -- are filled through NCR Classifieds each year. The more popular titles include campus ministers, chaplains, counselors, executive directors, liturgy/music ministers, superintendents, principals, teachers and youth ministers. NCR Classifieds are also your best sources for up-to-date information on retreats, sabbaticals, Spanish studies, educational programs -- all the categories listed on the right column.

Because NCR is a nonprofit organization, our advertising rates are lower than most national publications, and because the NCR Classifieds serve the non-profit community as well as the commercial sector, our pages have become the one-stop source for information in the Catholic world. To inquire about our rates or how to advertise, e-mail us. Please include a phone number and/or mailing address. Or call the advertising department toll-free at (800) 444-8910 ext. 2217.

A NON-SACRIFICIAL EXPLANATION of Jesus’ mission. The author has concluded, as have many Christians, that the “original sin” of Adam and Eve did not separate humanity from God and Jesus’ death was not an atoning sacrifice needed to repair this breach. What, then, did Jesus come to do? This book sets forth a new and fully Christian non-sacrificial explanation of Jesus’ mission, derived from evolutionary psychology, cultural anthropology and a close study of Jesus’ teachings. “The Second Half of Creation,” by Patrick J. Amer (Xlibris, 2003, 211 pages) is available on Web sites: www.xlibris.com www.amazon.com and www.bn.com Read a full description and the book’s introduction at Web site: www.xlibris.com
