In this era of "faith-based initiatives," congregations increasingly find themselves in the business of establishing and supporting community ministries-daycare for infants and toddlers, respite care for elders, and programs for housing rehab and home repair, tutoring, and social justice advocacy. In this volume, Carl S. Dudley revises and updates his earlier book, Basic Steps toward Community Ministry, which Loren Mead called "the most valuable book on parish ministry I've seen in a decade."
This is a great book that helps to spawn creative ideas as well as open up the eyes to a bigger picture of what needs to be involved in community ministry. The examples given in the book are a benefit and a guide. I maybe only half way through the book, but it has been a blessing for me to read and I recommend it for others.
