LEAVING CHURCH: Journeying with People of Faith In and Beyond Congregations
Palmyra Church of the Brethren Presents:
LEAVING CHURCH:
Journeying with People of Faith In and Beyond Congregations
A One Day Seminar with Alan Jamieson
Saturday, November 1, 2008
8 am to 4 pm (lunch included)
Palmyra Church of the Brethren
45 North Chestnut Street, Palmyra, PA
Alan Jamieson is a sociologist and senior pastor at Central Baptist Church in Wellington, New Zealand. His ground breaking book, A Churchless Faith, summarizes his research on why people leave churches and what happens to their faith after leaving. It outlines some of the supportive structures and one on one help that churches can implement to become “leaver sensitive.” In his book, Called Again, Jamieson raises a concern for those who still come to our churches, but long ago stopped being present mentally, emotionally and spiritually (internal leavers). How can their faith be nurtured and revitalized? Additionally, he raises the challenge of connecting with emerging generations, which are formed more and more by a postmodern world.
This seminar is for clergy and lay leaders in any congregation who are concerned with the faith journey of those who quietly disappear from their churches.
Supported by a Leadership Training and Development Grant from the Church of the Brethren Office of Ministry.
.6 CEUs available through the Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership.
