Church Leadership & Ministry

“David Kresta has offered an invaluable gift to the church today, and it couldn’t come at a better time. The pandemic has forced church leaders to question everything that it does, from worship to ministry to building use to financial stewardship. Kresta’s challenge to church leaders to rethink their ‘business model’ through the lens of community economic development is an eye-opener and a game-changing opportunity for those who love their church and their community.”

Practical Theology in Church and Society

Theology

“No matter how new or how seasoned we may be in ministry, Bush reminds us that we are always in a position of liminal leadership, straddling boundaries between church and society, God and person, reflection and practice, and belief and action. His action-reflection model of praxis reminds us to never lose sight of hallowed ground on which we stand, and in doing so, to help us better serve our churches, our communities, and the Reign of God.”
