And as Christian Community Development Association CEO Noel Castellanos has learned over a lifetime of ministry and mission, the neglect of the gospel's full implicationsfor the world has contributed to the erosion of communities and the languishing of poor and other marginalized people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhere the Cross Meets the Street\u003c\/i\u003e Castellanos shows the strengths and limitations of a narrowly focused church andbroadens our imaginations to embrace a gospel that proclaims Christ and forms disciples. This life-giving gospel also demonstrates compassion, confronts injustice and restores individuals and communities to wholeness.
