| Description: | A Mind-Opening Glimpse of Beautifully Unconventional Faith Communities Read Divergent Church and embark on a deep exploration of twelve highly unusual congregations. These are divergent churches--communities of faith that are living out long-established congregational practices in startlingly unconventional ways. These communities go far beyond church-in-a-bar. Authors Tim Shapiro and Kara Faris describe a church phenomenon they've termed the divergent church, and they examine what it means to be a congregation today. The book is framed around six practices that are foundational for Christian congregations. They also interview the leaders of these divergent churches, allowing you to hear from them directly. Divergent Church is inspiring, compelling, deeply challenging, and full of hope. A few other aspects to note: - Nearly all of the congregations profiled are rooted in denominational structures. - The book offers deeply practical descriptions of divergent church methods. - Each main chapter ends with questions to help you consider your own ministry settings and possibilities for meaningful divergence there. |
