Description
Book SynopsisToday, there exists a provocative need for a model of ministry that functions as a mediating structure to provoke a Christian identity and a secular relevance. Many classical as well as modern models of ministry appear to stress either a Christian identity or secular relevance. However, both qualities are essential to a comprehensive and current model of ministry. In Sketching a Scheme, author Stuart Wilson presents a friendship model of ministry that is both traditionally faithful and worldly pertinent.
