Christianity in the West is facing a major crisis, with research confirming that a rapid decline in church membership, especially among young people. And why has the life and teachings of Jesus – the way of Jesus – become so complicated by dogma, structures and laws?
Based on a conviction that the Spirit ‘blows where it chooses’, the author reflects on how the Jesus tradition can be presented to a world where scientific discovery makes us aware of our planet within a vast universe and the interconnectedness of every living thing in the cosmos – a new evangelising mission requiring the church to discern how we may experience the presence of a living God in our ever-evolving world.
