| Description: | Conflict This gem of a book offers insightful commentary and detailed, practical resources that offer welcome help for congregational covenants of behavior, an effective new approach to faithful civility in the church. "Have you ever wondered about the seeming 'disconnect' between the behavior of faith communities and the Word proclaimed in their midst? Cultural values and norms can't be checked at the door of the community, but are integrally woven into the fabric of congregational life - sometimes much to our dismay! Rather than accepting this as an embarrassing or awkward 'given' about which we can do nothing, Gil Rendle's book invites us to claim a deeper truth of the covenant community discovered again in contemporary spiritual discipline, enabling us to bridge congregation and culture. In this book theory and versatility come together to provide models, adapted for multiple settings, for faith communities to work toward behavioral covenant agreements. For new pastors, congregations facing change and dealing with differences, and anyone seeking to understand more about how our culture shapes the faith communities we know best." |
