Church in the inventive age

the long version

"We live in the midst of inescapable change. Maybe this thrills you. Maybe this scares you. We can't pretend cultural change doesn't impact the church. It does. It always has. The challenge for churches is the rise of a creative, participatory, inclusive culture. The role of the church is to live as a participant in the culture. Inclusion, participation, collaboration, and beauty are essential values. Living in the Inventive Age is not optional. We can either be in on the change, or we can be left behind." --From back jacket cover.
