Toward a Hopeful Future: Why the Emergent Church Is Good News for Mainline Congregations

Snider and Bowen, co-pastors of Brentwood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Springfield, Missouri, provide a much-needed emerging resource that will benefit both progressive mainliners who value inclusivity, diversity, and social justice as well as emergents seeking a point of entry into progressive mainline traditions. Winner of the 2011 Mayflower Award for best book in church and society.
