Congregations today exist in an in-between, or liminal, time. The
customary answers about what it means to be and do church and
strategies for renewal based on those answers no longer work. But
there is no certainty about the new answers. It is a time of
searching—of letting go of the old and experimenting with the
new. This means facing the reality of death, which may come as
institutions die or as established ways are abandoned. This book
addresses this reality while maintaining a constant focus on the
Christian promise of resurrection. It offers three images that
recognize the differing contexts of congregations and help them
shape their future as they seek to discern God’s work in their
midst. Congregations shaped by each of the three images
(remembering, letting go, and resurrecting) have the potential to
faithfully engage in God’s work in their setting. For each of the
three there are suggestions for helping a congregation move toward
an even more faithful expression of the image. The book includes
Bible studies and other resources that congregations will find
helpful in this process. Some congregations may continue in
traditional ways, while others seek a new way of being church. But
all can join in God’s work in their time and place with a new and
deeper understanding of the ministry that is theirs. This book
helps them do that. Because a different kind of leadership is
needed the book offers an approach to leadership that is grounded
in a spiritual process of inward reflection and outward
involvement.
