Re-membering God

Description

Like the scribe and master of the household cited by Jesus in Matthew 13, Re-membering God brings out of treasure what is new and what is old, and empowers us to go and do likewise.As both critique and encouragement for the church in the early part of the twenty-first century, it seeks to reclaim the foundational riches of the church's liturgy and spirituality in the face of cultural change.These resources, some lost or neglected and others under-utilized, can help rebuild the church, raising up what has been cast down and renewing what has grown old. This series of reflections explore with discernment what is fashionable, and acknowledge the deepest and most enduring human needs and hopes, which only God can answer.Re-membering God puts liturgical and spiritual practice into terms easily understood by both newcomers and seasoned devotees, for the benefit of this and future generations. Understanding the value of the past and with an eye to the future, this book will inform our next conversations about evangelism and church growth.
