Doing Justice Together introduces a process for pastors and church people to move through together, to re-envision and reorient themselves away from old, often harmful habits. Beck and Hand show pastors how they can, over time, lead the congregation to become a place where racial harmony, justice, and liberation are intrinsic to the structure and life of the church. The model includes pathways through four crucial areas of ministry in any church: Discipleship, Leadership, Outreach, and Organizational Structures. The book teaches the biblical foundations for justice as an integral part of these ministries and reveals how injustice often sneaks in unnoticed. Piece by piece, the authors lay out pathways for discerning and correcting these unjust patterns. They share stories from other leaders and settings where this model has been tried and tested and has led to extraordinary healing, revival, and hope. Patiently following these pathways over time, pastors and congregants will be equipped to thoughtfully transform their church. They'll make decisions differently.

They'll make incremental changes to ministries with great grace and care, honoring and including longtime members. And they'll begin new ministries-perhaps reaching people they could never have imagined reaching before-becoming a fresh expression of church in their community.
