The church is an organising body.

No matter how big or small the membership roll, whether they are in a rural or urban location, churches around the world and across generations organise people, to:

• Educate in Sunday school or at public lectures
• Feed at potluck luncheons and soup kitchens
• Comfort through funerals, visitation, and refugee resettlement,
• Uplift with worship, public witness, and policy advocacy.

But how should we organise our churches effectively and justly for the transformation of the world?

This book’s stories, practical wisdom, and diverse perspectives will equip congregations to make the changes they need to make.

"If we really want to build a new world, this book is a map through which we will … journey toward transformational justice for the new world we must embrace.”
Patricia E. de Jong, Chair, Board of Directors, Church World Service
