CLASS and the Evangelical Church in England

Description

Evangelical churches are not reaching the working class. Working-class people are not finding community in the church, and the gospel is not being preached and churches are not being established amongst working-class communities. What is the problem? And how will we fix it? This book examines what class means in England and why churches are failing to minister to all classes.
