About the Book

How can the church adapt to a constantly changing world? An Episcopal bishop issues a bold call to action. In order to be vital, the church must be dynamic. In A Generous Community, Bishop C. Andrew Doyle calls on parishioners, congregations, and all people of faith to ask themselves: How should the church change? Meaning, how will we change it? In a modern world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, how can the church make a difference? Bishop Doyle asks the important questions to start the conversation. We really cocreate our church, so perhaps the first and most important question is: What kind of church do we want? Bishop Doyle challenges us to follow the example of Jesus and create a ministry that is out and among people, a generous community that invites, welcomes, and connects with others. If we can envision it, we can bring it into reality.

Review :
"A Generous Community is a game changer." --The Most Reverend Michael B. Curry, twenty-seventh presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church "The content of this book is transformational enough, but the resources for group interaction create a combination that--with your energetic engagement--can mean a brighter future for your church, your lives, and the lives of your grandchildren's grandchildren." --Brian D. McLaren, author of We Make the Road by Walking "Bishop Doyle has given us a rarity: a book that shakes our foundations but doesn't scare us to death doing it. He is crisply honest about what we must lose, and the book is sprinkled with the carcasses of several sacred cows. But we are up to it; the church we will form in response to God's loving energy is exciting to contemplate. Bishop Doyle makes me eager to get on with it." --Barbara Cawthorne Crafton, author of The Courage to Grow Old "A Generous Community distills decades of watching, pointing to, thinking, and praying about the movements of the Holy Spirit in the lives of real people. Here Bishop Doyle proves himself to be a spiritual adventurer, a wise guide, and a committed disciple of Jesus." --Bishop Rob Wright, Episcopal diocese of Atlanta
