Books
The project will develop a series of ten books focused on offering practical theological wisdom for pastoral ministry today.
Issues the book series will address include:
- the social polarization that has divided congregations and the increasingly uncompromising positions of each side,
- the pandemic and the ongoing need to maintain virtual worship and other forms of ministry,
- the declining denominations that force pastors to reach out broadly and invite new congregants, which has led to complex questions about maintaining theological traditions,
- the significant financial pressures that make it hard for many congregations to pay pastors and maintain aging buildings, and
- the new theologies of ministry from churches of color.
