Such a dichotomy leads to a belief amont practioners that restoring people`s relationship with God has nothing to do with restoring just political, social and economic relationships among people. Thus, these practitioners reflect on: Understanding poverty, participatory learning and action, appreciateive inquiry, the Bible and transformational development, sustainable economic development, community transformation in the urban context, community development and peacebuilding.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">World Vision</note> <subject> <topic>Church work with the poor</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Poverty -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Poor -- Developing countries</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">266</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B915-M100</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781887983129</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/4481/working-with-the-poor.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/4481/working-with-the-poor.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070231.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
