A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In the period of Christendom worship and mission were driven apart to the detriment of the Churchs life and witness. With the demise of Christendom there is fresh hope that they can be integrated anew, but this will involve us in rethinking our understanding of both mission and worship. Mission, in post-Christendom, is emerging as Gods own mission in which God is the main actor and into which God calls all Christians to participate. And worship, which ascribes worth to God, becomes narrative-based: it tells the story of God, celebrates Gods work past and present, in order to enable Christians to live in hope as players in Gods story. Worship after Christendom will be evaluated not by how people feel about their worship experience but rather by the extent to which worship envisions and empowers them to participate in Gods mission by seeking first his Kingdom and his justice.

Revue de presse :

This volume challenges congregations to develop worship practices which radiate with the joy of Christ and express counter-cultural hospitality. Drawing on a wide range of biblical, historical, and pastoral research, the volume articulates an Anabaptist vision in a way that informs, challenges, and encourages Christians in all traditions to live out the call of the gospel more faithfully. --John D. Witvliet, Director of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin College, Grand Rapids

The Kreiders great gift is to communicate in a way that is simultaneously challenging and nurturing. --Anne Wilkinson-Hayes, Regional Minister, Baptist Union of Victoria, Australia
