In eleven chapters, Bishop Claver describes how church leaders put the aggorniamento teachings of Vatican II into practice by forming small Christian communities that focused on reading and understanding scripture and then, guided by the Spirit, implemented those teachings in their own communities. A primer on how to develop a local church, the book presents models of participative leadership but also inspires Christians everywhere to make their own churches more responsive to local needs.
