The New Parish

In this thought-provoking audiobook, authors Paul Sparks, Tim Soerens, and Dwight J. Friesen explore the transformative power of faith communities that actively engage with their local neighborhoods. They illustrate how the gospel becomes more tangible when churches connect deeply with the struggles and dynamics of their communities, drawing on age-old concepts of parishes to address modern issues of dislocation and disengagement. By emphasizing the importance of context, this work offers fresh insights into how faith can thrive at the intersection of geography, demography, economy, and culture.
