Diaconal Studies [EPUB ebook] 
Lived Theology for the Church in North America

Diaconal Studies explores and creates new ways of incarnating the church’s ministry, seeking to enhance connections between doctrine and daily life, service and social critique, solidarity and transformation – for a wide array of helping professions. This book aims to accelerate learning between North American and global diaconal educators and reflective practitioners, with contributors from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Norway, South Africa, and the United States. Deeply rooted in the theological tradition, diaconal studies can ground, renew, and invigorate interdisciplinary academic discourse to address the most urgent challenges in the contemporary world.
