Incarnational Ministry

Being with the Church

About this book

With Ā may be the most important word in the Christian faith.
In the Trinity, as Samuel Wells points out, we see the eternal persons of the GodheadĀ  being withĀ each other. In the Gospels we see JesusĀ  being withĀ the people he encounters, mediating God's grace to them with his own incarnational presence. Those in ministry are likewise called to the task ofĀ  being with—with God, with the church, and with the created world and those who dwell in it.
In Ā Incarnational MinistryĀ Wells elaborates on the concept ofĀ  being withĀ in eight dimensions: presence, attention, mystery, delight, participation, partnership, enjoyment, and glory. His vivid narratives and wise reflections will challenge readers to deeper discipleship and more vital ministry as they explore what it means toĀ  be withĀ the troubled, the hurt, the afflicted, the challenged, the dying—and all who are embraced by the church's incarnational ministry.
