Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation

Rev. William K. McElvaney's new book, Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation: Responding to God's Justice Initiative offers solid grounding from the Christian tradition for seeking and doing justice.  In addition, its practical strategies offer a realistic, "rubber hits the road" approach to justice discernment and discovery at the local church level.  To order copies at a discount, call iUniverse at 1-800-288-4677, x5022.
