  My Church Is Not Dying

  Evangelism for a world that hates evangelism, but needs the church

  * The unfolding vision of a church stepping into the future, instead of dwelling
  in the past

  The old way of “being church”-measured by political influence, money, and congregants
  in the pews-may indeed be vanishing, but it is being replaced by something new and
  beautiful for those with the eyes, ears, heart, and soul to experience it.
  Prolific author Greg Garrett reminds Episcopalians of the many gifts that our tradition
  can offer a doubting and hurting world. He reveals a church that values intellect, beauty,
  diversity, and community, and promotes thoughtful engagement with questions of faith,
  ethics, and community. This church espouses a generous orthodoxy, welcoming left
  and right, mystic and doubter. It values education, social justice, and engagement with
  literature and culture. And in opposition to the radical individualism espoused by most of
  American Protestantism, it offers the unique gift of a tradition shaped by English culture
  that believes the individual is a part of her or his community-not in opposition to it.

  For members of the Episcopal Church, laypeople seeking a deeper understanding of
  faith and the Episcopal/Anglican tradition, and seekers wondering about a way of being
  Christian that isn’t dogmatic, doesn’t offer judgment or divorce them from the beauty they
  already sense in their lives.
