My Church Is Not Dying
$20.95
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.
