DR. LOIS Y. BARRETT
   
 
July 17-19, 2008

COMMUNITIES OF RECONCILIATION

"Serving the church involves understanding the nature of the church and the mission in which God sends the church. The church is the people of God, an alternative community with another set of allegiances and another set of practices from the dominant culture. As such, the church is to be light to the world, a city on a hill, a sign of the future God intends for the whole world."

    • Treasure in Clay Jars: Patterns in Missional Faithfulness (Eerdmans, 2004), co-author
    • Missional Church: A Vision for the Sending of the Church in North America (Eerdmans, 1998), co-author
