Looking for Answers about Judson Press God's Transforming Spirit: Black Church Renewal?

Washington addresses two serious questions that concern pastors: How do pastors and leaders confront the imminent death of their congregations and move quickly enough to seek renewal? How might a church develop in spite of faithful people who cling to their "holy" past? Offering "no pat plan in ten easy lessons," he talks about the importance of prayer discipline, dependence on the Holy Spirit for guidance, and helping members grow in discipleship. His ideas include a Vision Group for open forum discussion, sharing, and program planning. Plus a Lay-Lib! plan for involving pew-sitters in ministry.
