Sinopsis

Islam, gentrification, AIDS, and multiculturalism: Where do we face these realities? A few years ago, it was in the city. But today, many city dwellers are moving to the suburbs, either by choice or because of circumstances beyond their control. And this shift is changing both the urban and suburban landscape. With this shift in mind, editors, John Fuder and Noel Castellanos, have gathered together a team of experts to help you minister effectively in both the urban and suburban context. Divided into four sections, Critical Issues, Church-Planting Models, Ministering to Suburban Needs, and Para-Church Ministries, A Heart for the Community is a rich resource designed to help you do ministry today.

De la contraportada

Our nation used to look at violence, poverty, and gentrification and assign those problems to urban centers. Today, these issues are no longer confined to city streets.

The Christian community is responding to this reality. Churches and parachurch ministries are actively working to transform lives and restore communities throughout the city and suburbs. In A Heart for the Community: New Models for Urban and Suburban Ministry, you will be challenged by a collection of voices seeking community renewal. These individuals are involved in creative church planting initiatives, and they are serving the growing Hispanic and Muslim populations. Additional endeavors include serving racially changing communities, economic development strategies, and more.

As anyone who has been in ministry for any length of time can attest, tackling some of the most challenging issues of our times is no mere academic exercise. The voices within these pages write from experience and offer workable, vibrant models of ministry that make a difference.
