| Description: |
From Nomads to Pilgrims is a collection of stories from pastors and congregations that have been on a pilgrimage to vitality, retrieving and reworking Christian practice, tradition, and narrative. In these pages, readers are invited to sit around a campfire and listen in as these ministers share their pilgrimage tales. The collection provides an inside look at the emerging style of congregational vitality described by Diana Butler Bass in The Practicing Congregation: Imagining a New Old Church. Practicing congregations creatively and intentionally center their lives around traditional Christian practices such as hospitality, discernment, prayer, and testimony. Against the steady flow of stories highlighting "mainline decline," these stories tell us that a new and often overlooked renaissance is occurring in mainline Protestant churches. |
