Readers' Choice Award Winner Best Books About the Church from Byron
Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore Fast food. Fast cars. Fast and
furious. Fast forward. Fast . . . church? The church is often
idealized (or demonized) as the last bastion of a bygone era,
dragging our feet as we're pulled into new moralities and new
spiritualities. We guard our doctrine and our piety with great
vigilance. But we often fail to notice how quickly we're
capitulating, in the structures and practices of our churches, to a
culture of unreflective speed, dehumanizing efficiency and
dis-integrating isolationism. In the beginning, the church ate
together, traveled together and shared in all facets of life.
Centered as they were on Jesus, these seemingly mundane activities
took on their own significance in the mission of God. In Slow
Church, Chris Smith and John Pattison invite us to leave franchise
faith behind and enter into the ecology, economy and ethics of the
kingdom of God, where people know each other well and love one
another as Christ loved the church.
