Faith With its Sleeves Rolled UpFaith With its Sleeves Rolled Up provides an answer to anyone who believes the voice of faith is inaudible or irrelevant. Representing a wide range of faith positions, the chapters assembled here consider the practical contribution that faith is currently making to twenty-first-century society, prompting a positive understanding of faith as: a solution-focused innovator; an agent of connectedness, neighbourliness and identity; a catalyst for engagement, involvement and mobilisation; a promoter of a whole-person focus; a source of hope. |
