About this title

Synopsis

How does the church address its differences? How can the struggle draw us together rather than drive us apart? This book tells of a gathering that asked these questions amid stories reporting on each participant's journey with Scripture. The book also describes a model for such engagement. Telling their stories are over twenty church leaders, including pastors, administrators, and teachers.
