Description
In this study of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Louis Weeks examines the present state of the denomination and how congregations can grow in faith through the current time of transition in the church. He considers markers of Presbyterian identity, new ways of connecting and faith development, and defining qualities of the church. Recognizing that many congregations are changing in different ways, Weeks includes case studies of congregations and interviews with leaders of local congregations and denominational leaders to explore aspects of Presbyterian faith and life that are viable and necessary for the future.
Advance Praise
"In these days, thousands of uninformed Presbyterians are publishing despairing critiques of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). In this book, one of the best informed, most widely traveled Presbyterians, Louis Weeks, publishes a thrilling tour through real churches doing stunningly dynamic ministry – churches in every self-described category from rural to urban, progressive to evangelical, wee kirk to tall steeple. And Weeks the historian catalogues these sightings of life, analyzes their historical roots, and offers a set of ministry themes and models that can inform and guide the visionaries who wish to build a sustainable – even a thriving – future of vital ministry. May it be published and read widely, and may hope overwhelm despair."
