N2  - John Wesley said not to make the parish your world but to make the world your parish. This book poses many questions related to that statement ... The purpose of this book is threefold: to put forth a vision of the entire parish as a learning community; to help faith communities create and maintain learning environments that facilitate us being different together in a pluralistic world; and to provide a comprehensive guide for religious educators leading a congregation toward fully becoming a learning community. The book provides resources for many types of religious educators: directors of religious education, pastors, lay leaders, and those preparing for these vocations in college, divinity school, or seminary. The book might be used by the reader for individual growth.--Preface
