Acting on Your Faith: Congregations Making a Difference: A Guide to Success in Service and Social Action - Softcover
Synopsis
An extraordinarily powerful tool for transforming faith into action.
Acting On Your Faith... is a unique, photo-filled book with the easy-to-read appeal of a magazine, designed to inspire and help congregations and parishes to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Filled with stories of Christian and Jewish faith communities across the country, the book also includes interviews, worksheets, step-by-step instructions and practical hints to help faith communities identify and seize opportunities for community service.
Thousands of copies of this classic have already shown clergy, lay leaders, and seminarians a myriad of practical ways to love our neighbors — through programs that meet people's needs for food, shelter, health services, job training, education, and much more. A reader's survey, funded by the Lilly Endowment, found the book highly effective in broadening understanding of the possibilities for community ministry and in inspiring the planning and undertaking of specific projects.
Ideal for: clergy and lay leaders, religious education, seminary courses, social concerns committees, workshops, retreats

From the Inside Flap
We all long to make a difference. You hold in your hands a unique resource which can help you and your congregation to do just that. It can empower you to act on your faith, to "walk your talk," to be fully involved in caring community ministry and in helping create needed, positive change.
This book is a wonderful blend of success stories, insights, and "how to" guidance. It's about Protestants, Catholics and Jews across the U.S., all making a difference by reaching out to love their neighbors in very practical ways. And, as they put their faith into action, they find their congregations flourishing as faith communities.
In the 250 photos, you will see congregations like yours successfully involved in a wide variety of service, social action and advocacy. You will see people like yourself actively involved, growing in faith and becoming more hopeful about our world.
Read the book; get others to do the same. Let it work on your hearts and minds. Let it help you shape or reshape your outreach/mission/social concerns work into a truly vibrant expression of your faith.
