| Summary |
Resurrecting church interweaves three strands. The center strand is the remarkable turnaround story of Caldwell Presbyterian Church, which was on the edge of extinction when author John Cleghorn filled the role of pastor. Cleghorn also tells the story of his own growth and liberation from the myopia of white privilege. The third strand includes the stories of several diverse congregations researched by the athor. These congregations are examples of faith communities that have taken risks, deepening empathy and seeking justice. Cleghorn envisions congregations as diverse communities, spiritual hospitals for the wounded and marginalized.--back cover |
