How can the church adapt to a constantly changing world? An Episcopal bishop issues a bold call to action.
In order to be vital, the church must be dynamic. In A Generous Community, Bishop C. Andrew Doyle calls on parishioners, congregations, and all people of faith to ask themselves: How should the church change? Meaning, how will we change it? In a modern world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, how can the church make a difference? Bishop Doyle asks the important questions to start the conversation.
We really cocreate our church, so perhaps the first and most important question is: What kind of church do we want? Bishop Doyle challenges us to follow the example of Jesus and create a ministry that is out and among people, a generous community that invites, welcomes, and connects with others. If we can envision it, we can bring it into reality.
