This book will support and inspire seminary students, pastors, and congregational members to connect across cultural boundaries and to live and act courageously, knowing that they are called by God and surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses.

About the Author
Joseph W. Ellwanger is a retired Evangelical Lutheran Church in America pastor. He served nine years as pastor of an African American congregation, St. Paul Lutheran, 1958-67, in Birmingham, Alabama. From 1967 through 2001, he was pastor of Cross Lutheran, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the central-city African American community, leading the congregation from 95 percent white in 1967 to 75 percent black by 2001. The author s deep hope is that this book will feed the faith and stoke the fire of courage for that holy struggle of living the Gospel and doing justice, a struggle that never ends as long as we are on this earth.
Review
Seldom will one find a more straightforward and natural telling of the story of a contemporary pastor, his parishioners, and the people they serve. --Martin E. Marty, Emeritus Professor, the University of Chicago, and a Lutheran pastor
This experience and examination of the times that changed the nation morally and spiritually is worth reading not only once. It s worth returning to now and then. --Dr. C. T. Vivian, National Southern Christian Leadership Conference Vice President
Joseph Ellwanger refuses to walk by on the other side, but shows a ready willingness to enlist and engage others to join him in tending to the wounds of the troubled, to join the company of those ready to bring healing to troubled lives. This book invites us to join the company of those committed to being creative, active members of the healing community. --Rev. Karl Lutze, Former Executive Director, Lutheran Human Relations Association
