Radical Welcome: Embracing God, The Other, and the Spirit of Transformation is at once a theological, inspirational, and practical guide for congregations that want to move beyond diversity and inclusion to present a vision for the church of the future: one where the transforming gifts, voices and power of marginalized cultures and groups bring new life to the mainline church. <br/> The book is based on two years of work and over 200 interviews with people in congregations around the United States–in urban, suburban, and rural settings, in the Northeast, South, Midwest, West, and Pacific Northwest–asking the question, How do we face our fears and welcome transformation in order to become God's radically welcoming people? Each chapter introduces a particular congregation and the challenges it faced, and lays out the theological underpinnings of tackling fears head-on and embracing change as a welcome part of community life. <br/> Additional resources and study guide available for free download at ChurchPublishing.org
