Sommario/riassunto |
|
In response to America's declining sense of community, Central Community Church has prioritized the organizational metaphor of "community." Building upon forty-eight months of ethnographic fieldwork, this book explores particular ways in which the community metaphor was co-constructed by Central Community's racially/ethnically diverse leaders and members as well as limitations and tensions that emerged from those efforts. |
