"With a preface by The Most Rev. Edmond L. Browning and an address by the Archbishop of Canterbury to his diocese about the Decade of Evangelism". -- t.-p.
A collection of twelve short sermons and addresses by Archbishop George Carey, all but the last, in the course of his America visit in September 1992.
"These addresses by the Archbishop were among those given in September, 1992, during his visit to the Episcopal Church in the United States. ... This was his first official visit to the Episcopal Church since his enthronement in Canterbury Cathedral in April, 1991. The Archbishop was particularly asked to address the fundamentals of Christian life and witness, to speak about what is timeless and unchanging in the Christian gospel. He also wanted to engage with members of the Episcopal Church, lay and ordained, and to hear from them about their ministry today". -- Intro.

"The recent development of so many evangelism strategies and resources is a sign of health and vitality within the Church, and there is much we want to affirm. We realize, however, that our quest for realism may make us unpopular with some, who may not like to see their favoured resources critiqued or criticized. Nonetheless the purpose of this book is to help local churches make informed choices about which evangelism strategies may be most appropriate in their particular situation. The different resources on offer rarely refer to each other, and part of our role is to help the reader make connections, so that churches can plan their evangelism strategy in a joined-up way". -- Preface, p. xi.
