| Summary: | Is the Church in the beginning of a Spiritual Awakening? According to this writer, it most definitely is. With home churches, alternative spaces for worship, and the popularity of Emerging Church, change is happening that is here to stay. This reshaping is about much more than worship style. It is to be found in the collaborative work of churches and faith groups in reaching out to love God by loving their neighbors. In the form of mission work, both locally and abroad, as well as use of the prophetic imagination and intergenerational focus, the Church is being molded into a new entity. Mutuality, integration, and collaboration are the hallmarks of the new Church that is developing. Congregationalism, by following the movement of the Holy Spirit among us, is uniquely equipped to embrace this new form and grow into the next decades of the twenty-first century. |
