Catching a Star
|
Transcultural Reflections on a Church for All People
Richard J. Perry, Jr., Editor
|
This book documents the heroic attempt of Asian-Americans, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Native Americans, and "new" whites to Catch a Falling Star – that is, to transform a vision of an inclusive church into common reality. The vision is a church on earth, a community where people of God can gather and glorify Him without having to deal with imposed, exclusive, human standards of acceptability.
