Jesus said this in Samaria, a community on the margins of society. In Embracing the new Samaria, Alejandro Mandes points us to the mission field in our midst, left untended when the church fails to reach out to ethnic-minority and marginalized communities. When we commit ourselves to the Great Commission (to make disciples) and the Great Commandment (to love our neighbor), we move toward a Great Community in which God is glorified and all people flourish" -- back cover ER -
