Overview

This book demonstrates how two overlooked ministry models--base ecclesial communities of the Global South in the late 20th century and hush harbors of the US Deep South during antebellum times--offer proven strategies for the 21st-century church and contemporary social movements. These ministry models provide insight into the creation and sustenance of vital Christian community, particularly for those seeking indigenous culturally-rooted models, and show how to and show how to integrate vibrant Christ-centered faith and mission with world-changing social justice and political action. The book includes on-the-ground stories from multiethnic communities, a foreword by Robert Chao Romero, and an afterword by Willie James Jennings.
