The Church: Signs of the Spirit and Signs of the Times (The Christian Story: a Pastoral Systematics)

"This latest volume in Gabriel Fackre's long-standing Christian Story finds the dedicated evangelical ecumenist attempting to examine the connections, or lack thereof, between worldwide ecumenical progress and the character of local church congregations in twenty-first-century America. Drawing from his own fifty-year experience in the church as pastor, teacher, and parishioner, Fackre offers a critique, a warning, and a constructive guide to the church."--Jacket.
