In the Trinity, we see the eternal persons of the Godhead being with each other. In the Gospels, we see Jesus being with the people he encounters, mediating God's grace to them with his own incarnational presence. Those in ministry, as Wells shows in this book, are also called to the task of being with: with God, with the church, and with the created world and those who dwell in it. Wells elaborates on the concept of being with in eight dimensions: presence, attention, mystery, delight, participation, partnership, enjoyment, and glory.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Samuel Wells</note> <subject> <topic>Christian Life</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Church work</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>God's presence</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">253</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W453-S19</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802874856</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14310/incarnational-ministry.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14310/incarnational-ministry.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071342.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
