The Congregation in a Secular Age

In The Congregation in a Secular Age, leading practical theologian Andrew Root explores the pressures contemporary churches face to adapt to the rapid pace of modern life. He argues that the push for innovation can inadvertently lead to burnout and a sense of alienation, stripping away the sacredness of time within congregational life. Root encourages a reimagining of change that fosters genuine connection and resonance, rather than mere relevance, guiding churches to navigate their future thoughtfully amidst the challenges of late modernity.
