Building Belonging

Church Leadership & Ministry

“You’ll find several things in this book: practical steps, theological reflection, case studies of ministry in practice. But at its heart, in my reading, is an essential question about conversion. Cleghorn wants American Christians to examine, ‘what have we forgotten? And whom have we forgotten?’ In our cities and towns, he shows us, we’ve often forgotten that conversion happens not only in our hearts but in our geography. Faithful Christianity remembers to risk new dreams for our buildings, on our campuses, and in our neighborhoods for the life of the world. Building Belonging constructs a vibrant vision of redemptive churches in flourishing cities.”
