The Dismissal - \"go in peace, to love and serve the Lord\" - becomes as important as the Eucharist in feeding the people for the journey. But churches often fail to focus on this baptismal calling to \"go\" into the worlds of work, family, and community. This book fills that void, focusing on how the baptized become \"go-ers,\" providing practical and tested ways of fulfilling that calling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGo to Love and Serve\u003c\/i\u003e builds on and complements the work of Stephanie Spellers' \u003ci\u003eRadical Welcome\u003c\/i\u003e, which called congregations to move beyond diversity and inclusion to be places where the transforming gifts, voices, and power of marginalized cultures and groups bring new life to the mainline church.
