Description
Book SynopsisAnchored in Scripture and Tradition, Radical Hospitality for a Prophetic Church conveys Amanda D. Quantz’s firsthand experiences as a chaplain working with emerging ministries that meet people where they are. Building on the biblical concept that all wisdom was present in the mind of God before it filtered into the world’s religious traditions, the book provides Christians with ideas for how to approach someone from a different religious or spiritual creed and learn about their faith traditions and values. Whether seekers are experimenting with open Communion, church without walls, or ancient but little-known Christian practices, this book is a resource for those who feel stuck in outdated ideas about what it means to be a church.
