Congregations in Mission: Rethinking the Metaphor of "Family". de Currents in Theology and Mission Resumen del Libro

"One of the most enduring features of the American landscape is the steeple, a landmark signaling the presence of a congregation," writes Nancy Ammerman. (1) R. Stephen Warner adds, "The typical American congregation is a voluntary religious community." (2) Indeed, the typical American congregation is a voluntary religious community and a public meeting place. (3) The authors of Studying Congregations begin this revised edition of the Handbook for Congregational Studies by asserting that congregations are important. (4) Congregations are not only important but also indispensable in terms of understanding the human experience of religion, particularly in the United States of America. (5) After a period of neglect by scholars and denominational leaders, the congregation...has returned to the spotlight. Despite neglect, the congregation remains the bedrock of the American religious system. It is in congregations that religious commitment is nurtured and through them that most voluntary religious activity is channeled. Indeed, with due respect for pluralism and caution about overgeneralization, I would maintain that the significance of congregations is increasing. (6)
