The Emerging Church: A Model for Change & a Map for Renewal

Realizing the importance of creating a practical guide for both ministers and congregations seeking to shift their congregational culture toward a progressive form of Christianity, the author grounds this book in the experience of his own congregation, as a way to establish context and to share real-life examples. At the same time, he peppers the book with insights from the science of emergence, chaos theory, quantum physics, field theory, spiral dynamics, and evolutionary science. Written in language laypeople can understand, this book is filled with no-nonsense, realistic advice on the pitfalls and possibilities of following the vision of the emerging Christian way.
