Topics
 We
are working our way through Kester
Brewin's book,
Signs of Emergence.
Many
in the church are recognizing that traditional “top-down”
structures are no longer functional. The church is seen as an
institution that is out of touch, ignored by the very people
it seeks to serve, and unaware of the opportunities for ministry
that exist as the interest in things spiritual rises. Signs
of Emergence challenges the church to face its fears and take
a bold step toward doing things in a completely new way—to
adopt an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, approach to
change. Drawing on the birth, life, death, and resurrection
of Christ, as well as urban theory, art, and social practice,
Kester Brewin calls the church to dispense with tired structures
and re-emerge as a networked, bottom-up organism that is responsive
to the needs found in the urban environment. This unique book
will be of interest to pastors, church leadership, and consultants.
The
book can be purchased at Amazon.ca,
McNally Robinson,
or Scott Parables.
