In more than forty years of ministry, Harold Percy has sought to waken a slumbering church by reminding it of its true calling--to imaginative evangelism, faithful discipleship, and innovative leadership. As a priest in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto, and as founding Director of the Wycliffe College Institute of Evangelism, Harold has challenged and encouraged leaders in a range of denominations across Canada through articles and books, conferences and workshops. This books engages in lively dialogue with Harold's many contributions to the life of the church today, with chapters on leadership, discipleship, spirituality, congregational ministry, and missional outreach from eighteen pastoral practitioners, all of whom continue to expand on his unique legacy in the service of Christ.
