The Once and Future Church: Reinventing the Congregation for a New Mission Frontier (Once and Future Church Series)

Mead takes a broad look at past and present changes in the church, and postulates a future to which those changes are calling us. Denominations, once structured to deliver resources to far-off lands of foreign mission, now encounter the mission field in the layperson's workplace and the community surrounding the local congregation. Thus, the church is called to reinvention for this new mission frontier. See study guide AL 129sg below.Loren B.
