| Description: |
The Role of the Home in Renewing the Church. This book identifies a repeated mistake happening in church practices all across North America. The mistake is not inviting, equipping, and expecting parents and other adults to play a vital role in the faith formation of their children and the young people in their congregation. David W. Anderson calls this error the Great Omission. The results of repeatedly making this mistake have been disastrous. Young people have left congregational life in droves. Ironically, research shows they have not left their spirituality behind, they simply have not found communities of faith that embrace them and challenge them to live lives of faith and service. Anderson traces how this has happened and what to do about it. He writes to congregational leaders, parents, grandparents, and adults who seek a vibrant faith in Jesus Christ for themselves and their children. |
