A collection of essays by 45 authors, this book "is published at the request of the Church's Archbishops both to stimulate the initiatives in evangelism already underway and, as important, to raise evangelism above and beyond the decade concept. The book is first and foremost a platform for both Archbishops to share their own visions, concerns and convictions. The substance of the volume is, however, made up of shorter contributions from more than thirty individuals who have first-hand experience of evangelism in a particular area of the Church's ministry" -- back cover.
