    About this ebook

    Pastor Willcox takes us on a whirlwind tour to do the right thing.

    First, we have to really wrestle with what a late first-century gospel writer is saying to a radically changing Christian Church. Then the tour starts with two twentieth-century theologians, and two Yale professors who dabble in administrative science, a predominately white church in a predominately black city, and two black theologians. It all winds down, believe it or not, to a modest neighborhood organization led by a bright and inspired woman in a small city on Michigan’s west coast. None of these people really agree much with each other, but they are all trying to do the right thing. It begins from the ground-up in a Spirit-infused perfectly messy world, and it all makes sense from God-down.

    W. Brewster Willcox

    The author is a retired United Church of Christ pastor who served four churches in Michigan and Pennsylvania and completed his career as a trained interim ministry specialist and served seven interims before retiring in 2002. He graduated from Oberlin College and holds two graduate degrees from Yale University Divinity School. In retirement near Lake Michigan, he and his wife, Mary Ellen, enjoy their family scattered about the country in Michigan, Arizona, Connecticut and District of Columbia; and a family cottage on Crystal Lake, Beulah, Michigan, where he served twenty years (until retiring that in 2020) as resident manager of the LLC that owns and maintains the cottage. Now he happily occupies a pew in his Congregational United Church of Christ in Muskegon, Michigan.
