Mission-Shaped Parish exile and poverty

exile and poverty

Mission-Shaped Parish exile and povertyThis is a practical how to guide introducing new, mission shaped practices in a traditional parish setting. This book looks at the church's bread and butter activities worship, pastoral contacts, civic and public responsibilities, faith formation, administration and leadership and creatively points out how to reframe them with a focus on God's mission.
