About this title

Synopsis

"In a society where many people search desperately for elusive 'family values,' this book roots hospitality where it belongs--in the graciousness of God," writes one reviewer.

In The Faith-Sharing Congregation, Swanson and Clement reclaim the local congregation as the center of ministry and mission, demonstrating that evangelism is the responsibility of the entire congregation--clergy and laity--working together.

The Faith-Sharing Congregation suggests a threefold evangelism strategy that includes:

sharing faith through the practice of genuine hospitality

sharing faith through relationships and personal stories

sharing faith through the "domestic church," the body of Christ
