The Congregation in a Secular Age: Keeping Sacred Time Against the Speed of Modern Life
A New Paradigm for Understanding the Congregation in Contemporary Ministry
Churches often realize they need to change. But if they're not careful, the way they change can hurt more than help.
Leading practical theologian Andrew Root offers a new paradigm for understanding the congregation in contemporary ministry. He articulates why congregations feel pressured by the speed of change in modern life and encourages an approach that doesn't fall into the negative traps of our secular age.
The Congregation in a Secular Age calls congregations to reimagine what change is and how to live into this future, helping them move from relevance to resonance.
