Next Steps in Community Ministry [EPUB ebook] 
Hands-on Leadership

Dudley and a research team go back to 24 ministries still in existence five years after the Church and Community Project’s completion. They discovered how the myths and expectations of funding, lay/clergy leadership, and church/society partnerships were shattered by what is doable; how the often Herculean efforts frustrated and tired participants, who were then uplifted and sustained by making a difference; and how faith was the foundation for action, and how, through action, the poor, the homeless, and others in need became real people and not statistics.
