Before the Resurrection - Paperback
Description
by Emily Provance (Author)
How do Friends' meetings and churches adapt to changing or shrinking communities? A smaller or older meeting is no less valuable to God than a larger one, but the "more is better" messaging of modern culture tells us otherwise. This book weaves together logistical suggestions with eternal spiritual principles to help meetings right-size their institutions. Whether a group is altering its committee structures, restructuring entirely, selling a building, or laying itself down, the steps are essentially the same: recognizing the need for change, discerning the will of God at this time, caring for one another, and stepping forward into a new thing.
Friends are a resurrection people. We know there will always be a renewal of life. But resurrection is not the same as resuscitation. How do we best make space for what God may do next?
