As partners with the World Impact community, we want to share with you about Dr. Alvin Sanders's new book which officially launches tomorrow, October 13, entitled The Uncommon Church: Community Transformation for the Common Good.

When Dr. Sanders started in urban ministry in 1991, he believed a huge problem was that many had good theology but didn’t live it out well among the urban poor. But now he believes we've come full circle—today, we see many people doing good advocacy in and for poor neighborhoods, but perhaps without a robust theological framework. And when this is the case, the local church can become an afterthought.

We know that this cannot be the best way forward. The Bible makes it clear that the local church is the foundational structure for God's missional purposes, regardless of where it is located. This book states the case for a solid and transformative practice of common good in our urban communities.
