About this title

Synopsis

Churches are often perceived as open, welcoming environments and many times that's true. But congregations, without even realizing it, sometimes make themselves inhospitable to people from poverty. For those situations, Dr. Ruby K. Payne and Rev. William Ehlig wrote what Every Church Member Should Know About Poverty. They use stories to help illustrate the way people from poverty view middle-class churches, and how to change those perceptions. They also provide solutions and tactics to teach church members and leaders some of the special considerations that can be afforded the disadvantaged.

A thought-provoking book that is ideal for adult discussion groups, particularly at church.
