| Description: |
"Pundits like to tell us that the old mainline is sinking. Diana Butler Bass wants to tell us something different - that it is not sinking, but changing. Pop into First Pres down the street and you may be surprised. In addition to the soup kitchens and the coffee hour and the once-a-month communion, you may find people walking labyrinths, or practicing simplicity or fasting. It's not your parents' Protestant mainline. To the story of mainline transformation, Bass brings her scholarly authority, her pilgrim's passion, and her lively prose. This is an eye-opening book, a buoyant book. It tells a new story, and anyone interested in the present or future of the Christian church should read it." from the review by Lauren F. Winner, author of Girl Meets God and Mudhouse Sabbath. |
