OverviewIn this follow-up to Incarnational Ministry: Being with the Church, Samuel Wells explores what it means for Christians and churches to engage with the world. Drawing on the Gospels, Acts, and personal insights gleaned from more than two decades in ministry, he shows how ‘being with’ others includes experiences of presence, attention, mystery, delight, participation, partnership, enjoyment and glory. His vivid narratives and wise reflections will help Christian readers better understand how to be with all kinds of people outside the church, including: • Being with Seekers • Being with Those of Other Faiths • Being with the Hostile • Being with Neighbours • Being with Government • Being with the Excluded Full Product DetailsAuthor: Samuel WellsPublisher: Canterbury Press Norwich Imprint: Canterbury Press Norwich ISBN: 9781786220363ISBN 10: 1786220369 Pages: 256 Publication Date: 28 February 2018 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.

It's a book which I read and find a resonance not only in my head and my heart, but deep in my soul. A book that engages acting and longing, praying and imagining. It is a great gift to the church, and I sense, if we take time to obey, might mean things aren't ever the same. -- Chris Russell, Advisor to the Archbishop of Canterbury on Evangelism and Witness Author InformationSamuel Wells is Vicar of St Martin in the Fields, London and a renowned public theologian.
