Salty Saints, n.

The Society of Salty Saints and Partners in Grace: Friends of the Salty Saints are two books by Micheal Elliott, pastor at Jeff Street in the 1970s and 1980s.

From his acknowledgements page of Society of Salty Saints, Micheal writes:

Many believe that Christian community in the inner city is impossible. The "salty saints" of the Jefferson Street Baptist Chapel, however, are just such a community, one that gives us glimpses of faith.

The books are the stories of some of the homeless and urban folk that Micheal met at Jeff Street and elsewhere in his journey. Micheal is currently the president and CEO of Union Mission, Inc. in Savannah, GA.

More information about these and other of Elliott's books can be found here.
