Summary

Spiritual Leadership in the Global City is a contemporary study of the extraordinary spiritual leaders God has called out to be a sphere of influence in the global city of New York. These leaders are working out of not only their passion but also an understanding of their context. They are bridging gaps and have formed a network of multiethnic and multidenominational churches that are seeing results of their labor.
