Scattering Church

What might church look like if, rather than being a controlled, institutional garden, it was a radically decentralized weed? scattering church explains why the traditional church structure is increasingly viewed as irrelevant not only by society at large but even by many people of faith. in a world that is socially mobile, digital, postmodern and increasingly post-institutional, we cannot expect the traditional model of the gathered church be effective.if you are enamored by jesus but disillusioned with the rigidity and control of institutions, scattering church describes an alternative: a church that consciously forsakes control in order to build a kingdom that enables human flourishing. this book weaves together seven core features of a non-institutional church that takes seriously the biblical metaphor of scattering, and describes numerous examples of what that would look like in practice.to connect with other readers please visit turningteardropsintojoy/books.
