Overview
People of a Compassionate God offers a comprehensive introduction to how congregations implement change around issues of greater inclusivity and openness. In order to help churches who follow this difficult route, Janet Fishburn and the contributors to this volume have engaged in a strenuous study of congregations that have consciously chosen to become more accessible to segments of the population that are different than the church's current membership. Using theological, educational, and sociological tools, the authors seek to understand how congregations succeed in consciously becoming open and affirming of diversity - and how they fail.Book Details
