Book Description
'In the beginning God created The Country Church' has been written during the busy days of active growth of The Country Church in Marion, Texas. Several well known leaders in church growth requested that the history and events of The Country Church be recorded. Pastor Butch Ikels has attempted to carry this out with a three fold purpose. First and foremost, to exalt The Lovely Lord Jesus who made it all possible. Second, to inspire church planters in rural areas to trust the Lord and dare to minister outside the box. Thirdly, to encourage and edify those who serve in remote or ill-defined areas. Prayerfully, that through the pages of this book, they might see the miracle of I Corinthians 1:18-31 lived out in a congregation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Institutional Work for the Country Church The State of Vermont furnishes a favorable field for the development of the country church. More distinctively than any other state, it is free from the dominance of city life and congested communities. And the record made by the churches of the state shows that they have been ready in some measure to take advantage of their peculiar situation. If there are no organizations that may bear the name Insti tutional there are many that can bear the name Inspirational, through whose quickening power society has developed along those lines that make for the uplift of all. The contributors to this book have been privileged to work in such churches as colabor ers, ministering and ministered unto; they haveshared in the prosperity of these organizations they understand their limitations; they appreciate their advantages. As practical workers, out of the wisdom gained by experience, they speak. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Click here to see a video interview with Emelio Betances. Click here to access the tables referenced in the book. Since the 1960s, the Catholic Church has acted as a mediator during social and political change in many Latin American countries, especially the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Although the Catholic clergy was called in during political crises in all five countries, the situation in the Dominican Republic was especially notable because the Church's role as mediator was eventually institutionalized. Because the Dominican state was persistently weak, the Church was able to secure the support of the Balaguer regime (1966-1978) and ensure social and political cohesion and stability. Emelio Betances analyzes the particular circumstances that allowed the Church in the Dominican Republic to accommodate the political and social establishment; the Church offered non-partisan political mediation, rebuilt its ties with the lower echelons of society, and responded to the challenges of the evangelical movement. The author's historical examination of church-state relations in the Dominican Republic leads to important regional comparisons that broaden our understanding of the Catholic Church in the whole of Latin America.
