How neighborhood churches are transforming the faith

The Sunday night Bible study group, known as Cultivating Christian Life, is reading and discussing the book Christianity for the Rest of Us. It offers a how-to approach for Protestants eager to remain faithful to their traditions while becoming a vital spiritual community.

Please join this vibrant discussion on Sunday nights in Room 8 starting at 6:15 p.m. All community residents are welcome to attend.

The book reveals the practical steps that leaders and laypeople alike are taking to proclaim an alternative message about an emerging Christianity that strives for greater spiritual depth and proactively engages the needs of the world.

Christianity for the Rest of Us
By Diana Butler Bass

For decades, the accepted wisdom has been that America's mainline Protestant churches are in decline, eclipsed by evangelical mega-churches.

Diana Butler Bass wondered if this was so. Her book is the result of her extensive, 3-year study of centrist and progressive churches across the U.S. Her surprising findings reveal just the opposite -- that many of the churches are flourishing, and are doing so without mimicking the mega-church, evangelical style.
