Church Leadership & Ministry

“The work of Beardsall, Budde, and McDonald casts a valuable spotlight on imaginative Christian congregations and provides a welcome update to the literature of a bold ecumenical enterprise on the ground. It is a practical guide for people who want to try the experiment of multiple denominational churches, a critique of some of the real difficulties, and an inspiration through stories.”

Partnership as Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“The woman who inspired this book said, ‘Our calling is to serve the world, as part of God’s transforming action.’ These essays testify to the ways in which the idea of ‘mission ‘has itself been transformed, in no small part by Ellie Johnson’s passionate persistence. The realities of global ecological collapse, homelessness, food insecurity, the scandalous history of residential schools are all faced firmly by the authors who yet inspire the reader to engage this world with hope.”
