How to cultivate a thriving Christian community in a disconnected culture
What does it mean to be a Christian community? And what does it mean to lead one? How does a pastor address today's challenges, from lack of faith in institutions, to conflict in the church, to the tension between tradition and innovation?
C. Kavin Rowe addresses these topics and a multitude of others in this collection of keen essays. Bite-size and conversational, yet deeply rooted in Scripture and recent pastoral theology, the essays in Leading Christian Communities reflect on the shaping of Christian leaders for the flourishing of their communities. Pastors and seminarians, as well as all those involved in church ministry, will find inspiration and insight in these pages.
