Böcker av Martin Sutherland

Great people developers take an interest in others, they recognize that they didn't get to where they are on their own, and they want to "pay forward" the time that others have invested in them. Helping others unlock their talent and potential is an enormously rewarding activity, and it doesn't take very much time, just the right attitude.

Baptists in New Zealand have built few lasting denominational institutions. In keeping with a congregational emphasis, the focus has been on the local church. The Missionary Society, born out of the recognition that some tasks are better done together, is an obvious exception. Another is Carey Baptist College. From nondescript beginnings, the college has become a broad-based theological provider in the first rank of New Zealand institutions. This volume unfolds the story of this crucial Baptist venture. The deeper narrative is of relationships, innovation and commitment. It is a story worth telling.

The book is a collection of twenty-one essays discussing how Baptists throughout the world have related to other Christians and to other institutions and movements over the centuries.
