Description
Summary:One of the most powerful forces in the twenty-first century is the increasing phenomenon of globalization. In nearly every realm of human activity, traditional boundaries are disappearing and people worldwide are more interconnected than ever.

Church leaders must grapple with the implications for theology and ministry in an ever-shrinking world.
