Signs of Emergence A Vision for Church That Is Always Organic/Networked/Decentralized/BottomUp/Communal/Flexible/Always Evolving - emersion: Emergent Village resources for communities of faith
Author: Kester Brewin

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 ...  more »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.  « less
