9780829800708: The Future of American Christianity: A Vision for Creating the New Community

Synopsis

After decades of chasing revitalization programs and young pastors, American congregations are still plummeting in membership. Clergy are jumping ship. New generations aren't interested. Revitalization programs are a stop-gap.

Author and pastor Laurene Bowers asserts that churches need to shift to new communities with a grassroots focus on love of neighbor: developing relationships, reforming belief, and collaborating for justice. The Future of American Christianity is, against all odds, a book of hopeful vision for the impact of Christian faith communities.
