Paperback. Condition: Good. For decades, millions of Christians have been leaving church behind. Among those who have stayed, not only individuals, but entire congregations are rejecting traditions that fail to address the challenges of our contemporary world. They yearn, instead, for a profound relationship with the ever-present God who is loving, inclusive, persuasive, and uncontrolling.This rich and diverse collection of sermons, essays, and worship elements explores how to preach, teach, and practice Open, Relational, and Process theological perspectives in local faith communities.

Scripture presents God as creative and responsive, however, intentional, initiating, and influenceable-a God who works in partnership with humans. This book demonstrates through the preaching of Scripture that God's good, loving, dynamic power operates in process with the freedom of others. God takes risks that may lead to evil and suffering, as well as to the righteous work of cooperative partners. - Karen Strand Winslow, author of Imagining Equity: The Gifts of Christian Feminist Theology.…
