Christianity for the Rest of Us

In "Christianity for the Rest of Us," esteemed church and religion expert Diana Butler Bass challenges the prevailing notion of decline among mainline Protestant churches, presenting her enlightening findings from a three-year study of various centrist and progressive congregations across the United States. She uncovers that many of these churches are thriving by embracing core practices such as hospitality, contemplation, and justice, rather than mimicking the style of evangelical mega-churches. This book offers practical guidance for those seeking to foster vibrant spiritual communities rooted in authentic Christian faith, complete with a study guide for both groups and individuals.
