Growing a beloved community

Subtitle: twelve hallmarks of a healthy congregation
by Tom Owen-Towle.   Boston : Skinner House Books, ©2004.

“Growing a Beloved Community is for Sunday worshipers, board leaders, parish ministers, social action devotees, and religious educators – all of whom bravely build bridges of hope between pulpit and pew and the larger universe. It simply shares notes on how to do and be church the Unitarian Universalist Way.” – from the Introduction

“Tom Owen-Towle has—again—got his finger on the pulse of meaning that nourishes healthy congregations.  A timely and thoughtful book.”
—Rev. Anne Odin Heller, UUA District Executive, Pacific Northwest District

“This book is a wonderful tool for all who are working to make their UU congregation the best they can be. It is at once a road map, a ‘how to’ manual and a great source of inspiration and uplift. Tom writes to the point and with great wisdom and warmth. There is something of value on every single page.”
—Denny Davidoff, Board Member, Meadville/Lombard Theological School
