Description
Churches and the Crisis of Decline: A Hopeful, Practical Ecclesiology for a Secular Age In a world where decline is a pressing concern, Andrew Root offers a fresh perspective on the church's future. Rather than focusing on innovation or resources, Root argues that the church's crisis lies in its loss of life, which can only be restored by remaining open to God's presence. This book presents a rich vision for the church's future, one that moves away from an obsession with relevance and toward a living God. Root contends that the church must become a waiting community, recognizing that its life is found in divine action rather than its own efforts. By embracing this perspective, congregations can begin to heal and find new vitality. This book provides practical guidance for those seeking to revitalize their church and find a hopeful, practical ecclesiology for a secular age. Through his work, Root challenges the church to rethink its approach to decline and instead focus on the living God who is at work in the world.
