Description
A new kind of Christianity is emerging at the grass roots. Full of heart-felt expression, artistic creativity, and liberal social values, progressive churches and small Christian communities have established themselves across the denominational spectrum. Reporting on a national research study that undercuts the impression that right-wing Christianity is the only new development on the contemporary American religious landscape, Hal Taussig identifies thousands of progressive churches and para-churches and describes five characteristics of this new movement. He then proceeds to analyze its blind spots, project its future, and suggest how to start a progressive church.
First Sentence
Some ninety beautiful polished stones sit in a clear glass bowl of water on an equally stunning purple cloth covering a small altar in the middle aisle of The Garden Church in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.
