Alice Mann explains how the natural life cycle of a congregation as well as other internal and external factors can produce a congregation that is in real trouble. She then offers hope for congregations that want to change. Practical options for congregations, leadership challenges for laity and clergy, and ways to work with denominations are detailed, and engaging discussion questions provide a basis for congregational planning". -- inside front cover.

- "Edited by Dr. Percy Dearmer, Canon of Westminster".
- "The issue, indeed, is simple. The motives and methods of human life are not sufficiently moralised: it was to moralise the machinery of production, to limit the power of selfishness, that Wilberforce and Shaftesbury were working a century ago; and the whole world now enjoys what Christians then won: but in many ways industry and business, and family life, and civic and political activity, need further moralisation. Money -- the necessary use of tokens of exchange -- has been overlooked in its moral aspect (in spite of what Christ said about it) .... And, alas, there was one aspect of human life which was not understood a hundred years ago; and to this our present miseries are mainly due. The very word 'international' had then only just been coined by Jeremy Bentham. The whole conception of moralising international relations was in its infancy. So the world went on to its doom. So, because the nations and their representatives have not yet learnt the elements of international behaviour, we stand at this moment of writing on the brink of irretrievable disaster. It is in a very real sense true that only Christ can save the world from ruin to-day. Are we prepared to let his spirit save the nations from themselves ?" -- Preface, p. 10-11.

- "Editor's Note: We publish herein the Essay which won the Vernon-Woods Memorial Award for 1937. We publish it hoping that it will be of help to Clergy and other Church teachers in their instructions to Men's Clubs, Women's Groups, A.Y.P.A. or other Societies in the parish. The Council for Social Service desires to render a service in this most needed field of Sociological Study -- Communism, Fascism, etc., in relation to Christianity. The Competition was open to Senior Students in our Theological Colleges. The Council congratulates Mr. Macintyre on his very fine effort and his college as well. -- W.W.J." -- p.[1].
- "The problem of the relationship between Church and State is not peculiar to our generation. .... The question today to be solved is not whether or not some form of the Church shall exist in conjunction with, or in subjection to, an autocratic state. Rather it is ultimately whether the spiritual values of the faith have any validity, and whether, granting their validity they have any priority over the claims and demands of the state. In the answer to this twofold question lies the solution to the impasse which in some instances,as in Germany, has been reached , and in most others must also inevitably be reached shortly. It is, therefore, the duty of Christian people to set themselves to think out their own personal and corporate responsibilities for the secularization of life which permitted the totalitarian state to come into being. Christians ought never to forget that their religion bestows upon them definite duties as citizens". -- p. [1].

Beginning with the Bible's understandings of social justice, Lewis summarizes the Anglican witness of theologians like F.D. Maurice and William Temple and goes on to discuss the Episcopal Church in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Later chapters discuss the challenges of a new social order that face the church today raised by liberation theology, third-world debt and economic justice, and questions of race, gender and human sexuality". -- back cover.

- "This book is both a record and a reflection on an extraordinary period in the life of the Canadian churches. .... In response to the spirit of renewal that followed from the Second Vatican Council, Roman Catholics in Canada were reaching out to experiment with new ecumenical relationships. While formal links through the Canadian Council of Churches seemed a long way off, Protestants were pushed by this surge of Catholic energy to build new models for peace and justice work. These became known as the interchurch coalitions, which the Protestant churches experienced as an opportunity to discover their own Social Gospel tradition (p. [5]). .... In this book we have asked the coalitions to tell their own story. Though the story may have a single person's name attached to it, it has been authorized by the coalition and circulated and revised by many people associated with the coalition's work. This was done to ensure the telling of a collective story rather than an individual one. These stories form Part One. .... We asked the writers of Part Two to read all of the stories and identify themes that emerged from the stories themselves. (p. 7) .... Another group of people [authors of Part Two], committed to supporting this justice work of the churches, has reflected on the strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences among the stories. They have found much to praise, but also much to challenge (p. 8)". -- Intro.

Second, it tells stories of creative congregational adaptation. Third, in light of both structure and stories, it evokes a lively hope that even hard-pressed outposts of Christian life in the United States can both survive and live faithfully in these times". -- Foreword, p. [ix].
- "Based on an intensive study of five cooperative ministry ventures, this thought-provoking book looks at how each takes a unique approach in addressing its own mission context. From rural ministries in North Dakota and West Virginia, to ambitious community development projects in Alabama and Maine, to intensive urban mission in Milwaukee, these engaging stories will stimulate readers to take a fresh look and new approaches to parish and community issues". -- inside front cover.
- One of the five case studies presented is "The North Central Cluster" part of the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia, composed of four Episcopal congregations.
