Citywide Ministry Book Read: The Power of Proximity By Michelle Warren


CITYWIDE MINISTRY BOOK READ: The Power of Proximity By Michelle Warren

As Christians, it's important to learn about the world's inequities and to be a voice for the voiceless any way we can. But in an age of armchair activism, merely raising awareness about injustice is not enough. Author Michelle Warren knows what is needed. She and her family chose to live in communities where they are "proximate to the pain of the poor." And it has made all the difference. 

When we build relationships where we live, we discover the complexities of standing with the vulnerable and the commitment needed for long-term change. Proximity changes our perspective, compels our response, and deepens faith. 

This is a no-stress, low-pressure book club! Did not have time to read it all the way through, but are interested in this work and this conversation?
