Academy of Parish Clergy 2022 Top Ten Book for Parish Ministry
Churches often realize they need to change. But if they're not
careful, the way they change can hurt more than help. Leading
practical theologian Andrew Root offers a new paradigm for
understanding the congregation in contemporary ministry. He
articulates why congregations feel pressured by the speed of change
in modern life and encourages an approach that doesn't fall into
the negative traps of our secular age. Living in late modernity
means our lives are constantly accelerated, and calls for change in
the church often support this call to speed up. Root asserts that
the recent push toward innovation in churches has led to an
acceleration of congregational life that strips the sacred out of
time. Many congregations are simply unable to keep up, which leads
to burnout and depression. When things move too fast, we feel
alienated from life and the voice of a living God. The Congregation
in a Secular Age calls congregations to reimagine what change is
and how to live into this future, helping them move from relevance
to resonance. This is the third book in Root's Ministry in a
Secular Age series.
