Contemporary society is in crisis, its structures broken and
fragmented, and its people overstimulated, overstressed, and
thirsty for true communion with the sacred and with one another.
Yet although more than eighty-five percent of congregations in the
United States conduct small-group ministry, too many of these
groups begin with no clear sense of purpose, structure, or
spiritual focus and end by veering away from Christian tradition
and unknowingly settling for shallow versions of popular
Christianity.
In The Church and the Crisis of Community Theresa Latini lays out
both a theoretical groundwork and a practical guideline for
successful small-group ministry. Examining the latest sociological
research and the real-life practices of small groups in six
congregations, she shows how well-developed groups those with
mission statements, leadership training, and solid organizational
structure can be a truly effective tool in the church?'s work of
transforming broken and shallow forms of community into
life-giving, life-sustaining relationships with God and others.
