Motivated by genuine concern, dedicated volunteers responded to the call
to action and millions of pounds have been invested to support those
most in need. However, the culture of many churches fails to attract
those they are helping to the very faith that motivates this compassion.
Even when people from poorer or working class backgrounds start on a
journey of faith, many churches struggle to create an inclusive
environment where they can feel welcomed and at home.
With biblical insight and practical examples A Church for the Poor, by
Martin Charlesworth and Natalie Williams, presents a vision of the
church as a place where people from all sections of society can find a
home and play a part. It is a call to rethink our traditions and
transform the church to reach the poor in Britain today.
