Guerrillas of Grace by Ted Loder

Guerrillas of Grace by Ted Loder

This text aims to throw new light on the current debate around the perceived failure of community care. The debate is being carried out not only among therapists, planners and providers, but also amongst consumers of that care and the general public. The author argues that as community care is not working, there is an alternative, more natural neighbourhood model to explore.

Loder, Ted: -

The Rev. Dr. Theodore W. Loder served for almost thirty-eight years as Senior Minister of one of Philadelphia's most unusual churches. The First United Methodist Church of Germantown, named The Oddball Church by the Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine, is a thriving, ethnically-mixed metropolitan congregation of over one thousand members. Loder's social activism grows out of a long history of involvement in social causes. He marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., in the sixties, opened his church as a Public Sanctuary Church, co-founded a job-training program for high school dropouts, a nonprofit housing renovation corporation, and an ecumenical consortium to rehabilitate abandoned houses. He also serves on the Philadelphia Mayor's Advisory Commission for Children and Families. A cum laude graduate from Yale Divinity School, with an honorary doctorate from Willamette University, Dr. Loder currently serves on the National Advisory Board of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.
