National headlines regularly herald the decline of Christianity in
the United States, citing historically low levels of confidence in
organized religion, drops in church attendance, church closures,
and the dramatic rise of the "Nones." Scarcely heard are stories
from the thousands of new churches and new forms of church that are
springing up each year across the country. In this book,
Christopher James attends carefully to stories of ecclesial
innovation taking place in Seattle, Washington-a city on the
leading edge of trends shaping the nation as a whole. James's study
of the new churches founded in 'post-Christian' Seattle offers both
pragmatic advice and theological reflection. After an in-depth
survey- and -interview-based analysis of the different models of
church-building he identifies, James identifies five threads of
practical wisdom: 1) embracing local identity and mission, 2)
cultivating embodied, experiential, everyday spirituality, 3)
engaging community life as means of witness and formation, 4)
prioritizing hospitality as a cornerstone practice, and 5)
discovering ecclesial vitality in a diverse ecclesial ecology.
Stimulating, encouraging, and stereotype-shattering, this book
invites readers to reconsider the narrative that portrays these
first decades of the twenty-first century as a time of ecclesial
death and decline, and to view this instead as a hope-filled season
of ecclesial renewal and rebirth.
