This weekend, read this book. Pulling together analysis from Harvey Cox, Brian McLaren, Phyllis Tickle and others, Diana analyzes the shifts in Christianity which explain – among many other things –
- why faithful people in my denomination want to leave the PCUSA to join the ECO or EPC while other faithful people want to remain in the PCUSA
- why the “how” questions (“How do I believe?”) is a better question today than the “what” questions (“What do I believe?”)
I love this book. It sparks ideas for theological education, sermons, liturgy, and endless grappling conversations over coffee. Your brain, soul, and faith communities will thank you.
Have it on my iPad and should get around to it — thanks for the nudge!
