This thesis studies the development of lay leadership within the Companions of the Cross parish context. It begins with a study of the theological understanding of laity, in particular through the documents of the Second Vatican Council. Movements of lay leadership development after the Council are reviewed as well as the establishment of the Companions of the Cross Religious Community. Key elements of a leadership development strategy are proposed in light of research from focus groups of Companions of the Cross clergy and laity.
