Alan and Eleanor
Kreider have been teaching and writing about mission, community, and
worship from an Anabaptist perspective for almost four decades. While
most of this ministry took place in United Kingdom and North American
contexts, their influence spread to continental Europe, the Middle East,
Asia, and beyond.
The contributors to this volume-all affected in some way by the
Kreiders’ ministry-are a global multi-voiced choir. They are younger and
older; academics and community workers; new believers and veterans of
the faith. They have come together to celebrate the lifelong
contribution the Kreiders have made to forming in so many people the
Christian habits necessary for living faithfully in a world where the
unraveling of Christendom has never been more apparent.
This book is a significant practical resource for anyone passionate
about the renewal of mission, community, and worship in the church
today.
It was co-published with the Institute of Mennonite Studies.
“Old patterns of personal spirituality and community habits, rituals,
programs, and techniques are fading away with the Christendom that
created them, opening fresh space for a deeper, more conscious
relationship with God.” —James R. Krabill and Stuart Murray
