by Michael Moynagh (Author)
Peppered with real-life examples, emergingchurch.intro offers an easy-to-read, practical introduction to fresh expressions of church. What is emerging church ? Why is it so important? Why does it make strategic sense? Emerging church starts where people are. It springs from a network of believers, and encourages more authentic community than in many traditional churches. It's a mindset rather than a method. It offers new ways for church to connect with our contemporary world. It raises profound questions about what it means to be church. Yet it need not be a threat to existing denominations. Quite the reverse: it could be their salvation. It requires spiritual entrepreneurs, taking risks, trusting God, encouraging networks. This urgent and hopeful book shows how emerging church can revitalise ordinary congregations and lay foundations for the resurrection of church in Western society.
