- Foreword by Martin E. Marty.
- Includes bibliographical references (p. 105-118).
- "This collection of narratives describes Christian and Jewish congregations in the United States that are currently conducting `cutting-edge public ministry'. .... The book tells 10 stories, six of them in considerable detail, each comprising a chapter. The final chapter contains four shorter stories about exceptional public ministry in the New York City area following the World Trade Center disaster of September 11, 2001. .... These stories primarily use the term public ministry rather than, for example, social ministry or outreach. This choice resides in an effort to describe programs that go beyond serving the most basic social needs such as food and shelter. One of the case studies focuses on the arts and art history, for instance; another includes teaching parenting skills; a third involves government lobbying." -- Intro., pp. 1-2, 3.
