Summary
How can pastors help to create missional faith communities that are willing to participate in God's healing of the world? Cultivating Sent Commmunities reimagines spiritual formation through the lens of mission, covering such topics as the role of Scripture, congregational discernment, and short-term missions and drawing on case studies from diverse contexts including Ethiopia, England, Leipzig, and San Francisco. Full of rich practical, theological, and sociological insights into forming missional churches, this fourth volume in the Missional Church Series calls readers to deepen the core practices that have defined Christians for centuries-and to reclaim them within the context of cultural adaptation and innovation. Book jacket.
