Description
The post-Christendom era has brought significant changes to the role of churches in society. With reduced access to political power and social influence, church agencies face new challenges in engaging with their communities. Douglas G. Hynd explores these challenges in his book Community Engagement after Christendom, proposing a multifaceted approach to reshape community engagement in difficult contexts. By reading Scripture afresh through questions shaped by the present situation, and examining the story of Anabaptist public servant Pilgram Marpeck, Hynd identifies fresh ways forward for church-related agencies and Christian advocacy. Hynd suggests imaginative solutions to help churches navigate their current experience and find new resources to engage with their communities.
