Contemporary society is in crisis, its structures broken and fragmented, and its people overstimulated, overstressed, and thirsty for true communion with the sacred and with one another. Yet although more than eightyfive percent of congregations in the United States conduct smallgroup ministry, too many of these groups begin with no clear sense of purpose, structure, or spiritual focus and end by veering away from Christian tradition and unknowingly settling for shallow versions of popular Christianity.In The Church and the Crisis of Community Theresa Latini lays out both a theoretical groundwork and a practical guideline for successful smallgroup ministry. Examining the latest sociological research and the reallife practices of small groups in six congregations, she shows how welldeveloped groups those with mission statements, leadership training, and solid organizational structure can be a truly effective tool in the churchs work of transforming broken and shallow forms of community into lifegiving, lifesustaining relationships with God and others.
