Alban Weekly on “Practicing Congregations”
For the past two years, Alban has been lifting up stories of mainline churches that are discovering new life and new purpose through an intentional engagement with traditions of Christian practice. In our best-selling book The Practicing Congregation, Diana Butler Bass shows how these churches are changing the face of mainline Christianity. In From Nomads to Pilgrims, which Bass coedited, she gathers some of the pastors of these “practicing congregations” to tell the stories of their congregations in their own words.
Now we want to share with you a short excerpt from Bass’s important new book, Christianity for the Rest of Us: How the Neighborhood Church Is Transforming the Faith. In it, Bass takes you inside practicing congregations across the country to meet the people and learn about the signposts of vitality that mark their lives together.
