As America faces great change, we must find new ways of cooperating with one another to solve problems beyond our individual control. As leaders of one of the largest pools of community capital-our congregations-pastors have both the opportunity and the skills to help guide local communities through transitions and to help cast a vision of renewed communities. At the heart of Granade's book is a firm belief that clergy can play a unique leadership role in community life. He encourages clergy to reclaim that role and to share with their communities a message of hope: God still cares and is involved in the life of individuals, families, communities, and the world.
