Domination Christianity - mission mishaped church (Paperback)

'Domination Christianity' explores Max Weber's understanding of bureaucracy as 'domination through knowledge' -in both Protestant religion and the capitalist culture that it birthed. Management and mission practices have also merged in the last 20 years in such a way as to distort the ongoing ability of mainline Churches to create genuine community. There are several streams of mission attempting to reverse Christianity's decline in the West. Mission Shaped Church is a stream within mainline Christianity that is attempting to do this through creating churches around the needs of the unchurched. Frustratingly all mission initiative is enmeshed in centralized finance and managerial mechanisms. Therefore Church law, policy, regulation and financial priorities control and curb innovation and growth. DOMINATION CHRISTIANITY considers the way practices of hierarchical bureaucracy and management have therefore perpetuated decline in mainline Christian institutions. The way the Gospel is communicated has been distorted to such a degree by these modernist practices as to render it socially impotent in postmodern society.
