With practical insight and curiosity they share their wisdom for churches and those who lead. Holding a pluralistic vision about the significance of liminality, readers are invited into an ever-expanding sense of a God at work in the world.\" Joretta L. Marshall, Professor of Pastoral Theology, Care and Counseling at Brite Divinity School  \"In Crossing Thresholds, the authors weave together a colorful tapestry of liminality's varied histories, theories, and practical applications to spiritual life and leadership, inspiring new imaginings for the church and beyond. Anyone yearning for frameworks that deepen and challenge what it means to engage faithfully the 'betwixt and between' will discover in this book a provocative, praxis-oriented companion.\" Kristina Lizardy-Hajbi, Director, Office of Professional Formation Term Assistant Professor of Leadership and Formation, Iliff School of Theology  \"A marvelously collaborative volume exploring liminality as lens and then lever for renewed action with contributions to practical theology, theopoetics, pastoral-congregational life and personal transformation in today's fragmented and fragmenting institutional ecology(ies).  A rigorous interdisciplinary perspective invites the finding and building of liminal frameworks, dancing and swaying toward theological engagement for ecclesia-gatherings-on the move, or willing to risk innovation in leadership, liturgy, and mission. A compelling work of practical theology modeling its method in a spiral-esque form as well as disciplinary scholarship.\"   Lisa M Hess, Professor of Practical Theology and Contextual Ministries at United Theological Seminary, Ohio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures The Authors Preface  Introduction  Part I: Origins, Phenomenology, and Primary Texts 1.
