Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation

Autor K. McElvaney William K. McElvaney, William K. McElvaney
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Based on sound biblical, theological, and liturgical grounding, Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation offers practical know-how strategies from McElvaney's ministry and from the experiences of others addressing justice issues in a variety of settings. Idealism and realism are combined in a "rubber hits the road" local church kind of justice discernment and discovery.

Designed as an ecumenical study guide for local congregations, clergy groups, and seminarians, Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation addresses the why, what, where, and how questions related to practicing justice. It provides a fresh invitation for the church to work for systemic change in the world.

Advance praise for Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation

"Bill McElvaney is a reliable and sure-footed guide who traces out the deep and urgent connections between faith and social reality. In this book he brings both his long years of reflective study and his heart filled with passion to the hard issues facing faith. Readers will surely feel both assured and summoned by his words."

-Walter Brueggemann, Emeritus Professor of Old
Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia

"For forty years I have witnessed and appreciated Bill McElvaney's consistent commitment to the struggle for social justice and peace. His faithful track record in this challenging area of ministry gives him the practical and theological authority to write this book."

-Zan W. Holmes, Jr., Pastor emeritus, St. Luke
Community United Methodist Church, Dallas, Texas
