This is a vivid and vital behind-the-scenes portrait of First Church in Windsor, Connecticut. This active congregation is served by a senior minister in the midst of a million-dollar building program, an outreach minister running a homeless shelter in Hartford, and a spiritual director who helps the author rekindle his soul. Dorsey joins members of First Church on a trip to England, participates in a group studying healing, and examines the spiritual journey of several women activists. Congregation by Gary Dorsey proves that community, mystery, love, and transformation can still happen within the context of mainline Protestant churches.
