Back in 2000, Episcopal priest, William Dopp and his wife, Janet,
were on their way to Kisoro, Uganda to be part of a special
celebration at St. Andrew's Cathedral in that remote part of east
Africa. They stopped over in London, where they had the opportunity
to attend Sunday worship at St. John the Baptist Church in the
Kensington section of London. The contrast between the two churches
inspired this book.
The old gothic church in London was nearly empty on Sunday
morning. One week later, the Dopps took part in worship in rural
Kisoro where the 1200-seat cathedral was not large enough to hold
the crowd. The church in London had on its literature, "Preserving
Holy Worship." The church in Kisoro, Uganda proclaimed on a sign,
"Jesus is our living hope." One church lives in the past; the other
is in mission proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. These two
churches are the symbols of what Dopp calls the old chapel church,
the OCC, and the emerging missionary church, the EMC. Congregations
of all denominations fall into these two categories. Through
engaging ministry experiences backed up by current statistics, he
illustrates how the emerging missionary church transforms the lives
of people.
