Transforming Disciples

FORMATION AND DISCIPLESHIP IN THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

by Linda L. Grenz

The church of the twenty-first century will need to be a learning community, but making disciples through Christian formation too often reflects a limited number of generic educational programs offered to child, teen and adult "consumers" who move on if they don't find what they want. How then can we make the transition form consumer religion to participatory faith in a time of stress and upheaveal, developing models and spiritual practices to feed the growing hunger in our churches for knowledge, spritual growth, maturity and vision?

This book can be used by educators and education committees -- espeically those seeking to understand and lead Christian formation in the postmodern world. It is also appropriate for adult education groups as a means of helping adults understand the implications of some of the changes in the church today.
