YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN CHURCH

VT0040
Hosted by Rev. Ezra Earl Jones, this video discusses the nature of ministry beyond the local church. Based on the book The Management of Ministry, it opens with a whimsical person-on-the-street interviewer who asks random people to "Name something you can’t do in church." The mood changes as Dr. Jones visits church people in several settings and they describe their varied ideas of community and suggests how the church can minister in those areas. Designed to help congregations in areas of mission and ministry beyond the walls of their churches.
