520			_a"Anglican Archbishop Justin Duckworth and sociologist Pastor Alan Jamieson address church renewal amidst modern challenges, combining personal anecdotes, theology, and sociology to bridge gaps between traditional and emerging faith expressions. Join the conversation between Centre-church leaders and missional Edge-dwellers about how to be the church today. Duckworth and Jamieson address the crisis of hopelessness gripping the western world and offer a bold perspective: the answer lies in the life of Jesus and the revitalization of the Christian church. This isn’t jussssssssssssssssssssssssssst another book on church decline. Instead, they invite you into a dialogue between traditional church leaders and forward-thinking pioneers. In-tensional isn’t about theory; it’s about sparking conversations that bridge the gap between established church structures and emerging expressions of faith. They delve into the dynamic tension between what’s comfortable and what’s prophetic, between tradition and innovation. Drawing from real-world experiences, Justin and Alan navigate the complexities of modern church life. They address the challenges posed by cultural disruptions, mental health crises, and global emergencies like COVID-19 and climate change."--Publisher information.
