What Others Are Saying
If you are looking for a tool to help you rethink your philosophy of ministry with youth and how that plays out in practical ways, I highly recommend Building Cathedrals by Ted Travis. Dr. Eileen Koorman, Director, DeVos Urban Leadership Initiative
Readers will learn a great deal from Ted Travis’s rich urban ministry experience. His insights about adolescents, community engagement and ministry are a vast ocean of information that challenges us to reexamine our theological and ministerial assumptions about urban youth work. And his gift of storytelling—from programmatic frustrations to personal sharing to leadership strategies—paints a beautiful and very human portrait providing the backdrop from which much of his sage advice flows. Dr. Fernando Ortega, professor, Nyack College
It is rare to find a relevant guide for developing young leaders that is rooted in the urban context and that is both biblical and practical … Thanks, Ted, for sharing your wisdom with a new generation of youth workers! Dr. Noel Castellanos, President, Camino Alliance
