Book Description
What does it mean to be a Baptist? Eileen Campbell-Reed’s retelling of the Baptist story is refreshing. For the Baptist newcomer, Campbell-Reed shares the reasons why we are as we have become and offers a positive sense of direction for growth in Christian faith and church life. She encourages experienced Baptists to live their faith traditions anew.
Being Baptist is a remarkably readable, easy to use resource, well suited for:
• equipping newer members of the local church with solid handles on Baptist faith and practice
• re-energizing longer-term local church members with an appreciation for the continuing dynamic contribution of Baptist life to the whole Christian Church
• sharing the breadth of Baptist life with interested non-Baptists through a warmly engaging account of major personalities and shaping issues
For use as an individual learning or group experience resource, Being Baptist provides:
• teaching procedures appropriate for adults and for youth
• study sessions addressing Baptist identity, worship, service and missions
• stories about the people who gave life to the Baptist way of faith
• resource pages for each learning session
• well conceived and proven ideas for welcoming new church members
