Rhetorical Analysis
The main point of this article, in my opinion, is summed up on page ninety four. “A foundation and critical challenge for the Emerging church will be teaching people that they are the church and that they do not simply attend or go to one.” When the focus is brought to the Church as a building there seems to be a bigger issue. WE become more worried about the structure of the church and the materialistic things that come with the make-up of a church instead of what is truly important. To help further understand this Kimball provides the reader with valuable information, “However, the word Church was used (in scriptures) primarily to describe the followers of Jesus.” He goes on to state, “but never do we see that people met at a church” (96).
Howard Thurman Understanding Ministry Summary
647 Words | 3 Pages(Pp. 165-211) Understanding ministry, I can relate to how Howard Thurman thought he had found his permanent church-home at the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in the position as full-time minister.

The Reputation Of Christianity In Unchristian By David Kinnaman
839 Words | 4 PagesChristians today are perceived much differently now than they were in past generations. In his book UnChristian, David Kinnaman reveals what the current standings of young outsiders, or those that do not identify with Christianity, are about Christians in comparison to past generations (referred to in the book as “Mosaics” or “Busters” depending on the year of their birth). Though unfortunate, this faith is seen more as club or a social circle of the elite rather than a group of people faithful to their beliefs. Several negative issues that young outsiders perceive of Christians are presented in UnChristian.

A Reflection On Sticky Church By Larry Osborne
764 Words | 4 PagesIt’s like a revolving door; people come and go. The message of this book is how to develop a church that keeps people in the church (willfully) and closing the door. Not necessarily through a program or new things to keep people entertained but rather a simple method which best reflects the new testament way of doing things. Sermon-based small groups work because they are focused on linear programs and relationships.

Brown April 8, 2016 Walking into a First Baptist Church in your city and then visiting an inner-city community church, perhaps within that same city, the following week, would present different views as to the make-up of a church. A few more pronounced differences may be with the music, perhaps the order of the service, but less noticeable would be the religious differences and structure of each church.
Summary Of Adam's Peace By John Muir
1541 Words | 7 PagesShe describes the pharisaical congregants with the desire to do the right thing, however, their dignity comes from being seen at church. Dillard’s church is the “Families whose members have been acquainted with each other as long as anyone remembers grow not close, but respectful,” and the barefoot Jesus dangles inside the dome of the church building, alone (Dillard p.137). Why did they not see the real Jesus? Dillard, as a teenager, understood at a young age, the American church is trapped under the obligation of doing instead being with Jesus, inasmuch as she recognized these dear families with a pining desire to love one another and sincerely pray to their

David Fitch Summary
768 Words | 4 PagesDavid Fitch is discussing the issue of how we are so focused on numbers in our churches today. He stated that as much as him and other ministers tried to avoid bringing numbers in evangelical meetings, somehow and somewhere, numbers will come in the conversations. He presented his argument by stating both the good and the bad side of numbers in our churches. But he was most focused on the, what I will call the bad side of it. He stated that numbers, meaning mentioning the number of attendees for a particular church, became a way for churches to measure success.

John Wesley's Argument Paper
2005 Words | 9 PagesThis view is in connection with Dr. Fowler’s words that “the Church is not fundamentally an institution; it’s the Body of Christ.” Using this argument, I would like to integrate this with my Pastor and People course field trip to a hospital, funeral home and an old people’s residence to make more explicit that the Church has many roles to play. Gustavo’s claim is an additional claim about the church not about “guaranteeing heaven.” I will explain that with my experiences at all these places have helped me understand Moltmann’s argument about “Christianity is not yet the new mankind, it is its vanguard.” t As humans, other than the clergy or church people, the sick look up to a doctor or a nurse for medical aid.
