Emergingchurch.Intro

by Michael Moynagh (Author)

Synopsis

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.

Moynagh artfully provides vibrant examples of churches that recognized their come to us traditional view of the church was no longer attracting the unchurched. These churches stepped out of their traditional comfort zone and, through a plethora of new ideas, changed the staid, traditional style of church into a new, more inviting atmosphere designed to welcome unchurched people. Moynagh honestly points out that change is rearely easy and usually produces growth pains. The growing pains diminish, however, for a church that continues with dwindling attendance and outreach to those without Christ because it refused to change. --Pepple ChristianBookPreviews.com Emergingchurch.intro (12/06/2005)
