Tour guide to traveler : a conversation about "leadership" -- Teacher to facilitator : a conversation about "learning" -- Hero to human : a conversation about "spiritual growth" -- Consumer to steward : a conversation about "ministry" -- Retailer to wholesaler : a conversation about "missions" -- Adversary to ally : a conversation about "faith" -- Warrior to gardener : a conversation about "evangelism" -- A metaphor for life.
Subject: Our culture is rapidly changing and people are searching for new models and paradigms to find meaning in their lives. As in all transitional periods, this search takes place in grass-roots conversations where the "new" is taking form. No other place so uniquely captures this struggle more than the message boards at theOoze.com, the premier melting pot of emerging spiritual conversation. Making Sense of Church is a snapshot of this "community conversation" as it tries to make sense of God in the emerging worldview. It represents a gathering of individuals with different points of view, theologies, life contexts, and feelings. Author Spencer Burke, creator of theOoze.com, provides the framework writing for each chapter and acts as a "guide" to the accompanying e-mail postings that supplement the chapters.
