Publisher's Synopsis
Drawn directly from applications for the Union Presbyterian Seminary Congregational Leadership Awards, these stories invite the reader to hear the authentic voices of those involved. The stories come from diverse congregations - large and small, urban and rural - possessing varying amounts of resources. They describe ministries that were effective for a particular people at a particular time. Whether these ministries continue to thrive or what shape they may have taken since their inception does not change the impact they were having at the time the stories were submitted, and that is the moment in time captured in these narratives.
