Practicing Witness: A Missional Vision of Christian Practices
"Practicing Witness is a significant new contribution to contemporary practical theology and Christian ministry. The conversation between the 'missional theology' and the 'Christian practices' approaches to Christian faith, life, church, and mission that Ben Conner both advocates and launches in this book is very promising and long overdue. I am honored and grateful to have my own theological work taken so seriously here. I learned a lot from Conner's full, rich, and accurate rendering of it and from his promptings to make its implicit missional and ecclesial dimensions more explicit. This is an important and excellent book."Craig Dykstra— Senior Vice President, ReligionLilly Endowment Inc."Combine equal parts of ecclesial practices and missional theology. Add Conner and stir.
