About the Book

Concurring with many who find the church pointless if not downright harmful, this book explains why the church should nonetheless exist. Weaving together resources from Scripture, science, history, and theology, Moss describes the drastic and systemic changes that must take place if the church is to have any hope of fulfilling its purpose: revealing God's peace, compassion, love, and justice in the world. Even if we are willing to undertake it, the transition from the church we are comfortable with to the church we need to be will no doubt be difficult, painful, and anxiety ridden. Nonetheless, this book claims that the church is still the best option available for the re-creation of the world. Well-researched, easily readable, and presented with light humor, this book is sound enough for the classroom and practical enough for the congregation. Each chapter includes reflective discussion questions to aid the reader in rethinking how their corner of the church can live into its core purpose, offering divine hope to a world that is desperately searching for it.

About the Author :
Robert G. Moss currently serves as an intentional interim pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, specializing in transition and renewal. He is the author of The Neighborhood Church (2014).

Review :
"Pastor Robert Moss shows the church that our human connectedness, not our separation, is the ultimate key to understanding God's intention for the world. Amidst the church's brokenness, failures, and shortcomings, he says, there are among us 'sparks of resurrection, ' remnants, that show us how to return to the connected community God desires for us. The deep-diving discussion guides and the thought-provoking Bible studies make this an excellent choice for group conversations." --J. Dana Peterson, director for evangelical mission, Rocky Mountain Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America "Many church leaders operate out of their frustration with the church--or their hope for it. In Connected, Robert Moss gives us a perspective that operates out of both. His honest take on the struggles of the church throughout history is balanced by a hope, backed by history and Scripture, that believes God continues to work with, on, and through us." --Scott Alan Johnson, bishop, Nebraska Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
