Acting on Your Faith: Congregations Making a Difference: A Guide to Success in Service and Social Action

Item Description

An extraordinarily powerful tool for transforming faith into action. Acting On Your Faith... is a unique, photo-filled book with the easy-to-read appeal of a magazine, designed to inspire and help congregations and parishes to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Filled with stories of Christian and Jewish faith communities across the country, the book also includes interviews, worksheets, step-by-step instructions and practical hints to help faith communities identify and seize opportunities for community service. Thousands of copies of this classic have already shown clergy, lay leaders, and seminarians a myriad of practical ways to love our neighbors — through programs that meet people's needs for food, shelter, health services, job training, education, and much more. A reader's survey, funded by the Lilly Endowment, found the book highly effective in broadening understanding of the possibilities for community ministry and in inspiring the planning and undertaking of specific projects. Ideal for: clergy and lay leaders, religious education, seminary courses, social concerns committees, workshops, retreats
