  Referenced in: Biblical and Spiritual Foundations of Leadership
  Hammett is part of The Columbia Partnership that is dedicated to revitalizing established churches among mainline denominations. In this text he approaches spiritual leadership from the standpoint of helping churches be more missionally faithful. Given the fact that many must practice their leadership in the context of congregational ministry, Hammett helps leaders conceive of their role in the church, through the church, and as the church.
  From the Publisher
  Spiritual Leadership in a Secular Age explores the questions: How can we be faithful people of God in a postChristian, postdenominational, postmodern world? and How can we do ministry in, through, and as the church in an increasingly secular world? Author Edward Hammett draws on concepts from the ministries of Jesus and Paul as they ministered among persons unlike themselves during the birthing of the New Testament church. He offers a coaching approach and practical ideas to help leaders and congregations as they struggle to discern how to build bridges instead of barriers with the unchurched.
