Description:
It is no secret that Churches of Christ are experiencing swift and disorienting changes. Yet in the shake-up that comes with the passing of one era and the emergence of another, there is an opening for new and exciting possibilities.
In this book 15 younger church leaders provide stimulus for this challenge. They write about what excites them--and troubles them--as they seek to minister to a culture that seems lighyears away from the world in which Churches of Christ took shape and first flourished.
The questions before the writers in this collection of essays are, How will Churches of Christ deal with the profound sea-changes that are well underway and yet remain dynamic and faithful in their mission to the glory of God? And, How can they do this in a way that maintains a meaningful continuity with their past?
Everyone who cares deeply about the future of Churches of Christ will want to read this book.
