Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Fill the Pews The church ought to be filled at the right time, and permanently, with desirable people. It can be so filled if church officers and the pastor will follow the suggestions contained in this book. This is not intended to be a gilded literary production. It has many earmarks of the literary novice. Yet it has a message that is needed by the officers of almost every church. Every church needs to know "how to do things" that are necessary and proper to be done. One of these things is the getting of people into the pews at the proper time. If there is any more important thing to be done about a church, I have not learned of it. It is comparatively easy to fill a church. Christian F. Reisner, in "Church Publicity," shows how to advertise so as to attract the general crowd. His book deals with church attendance from that general angle. This book of mine has another and, I think, just as worthy ambition. While it is easy to fill a church, it is just as easy to empty it. Advertise something and fail to deliver that something, and your attendance will shrink immediately and permanently. "Deliver the goods," and sittings will be at a premium at every service. Proper method in the hands of experienced persons is a powerful agency for increasing church attendance. The same method in the hands of novices is dangerous and costly. Too many churches are looking to the preacher for their publicity work, when he ought to be released for other duties. We have entirely too many "one-man" churches, which suffer a rapid, certain, and often permanent slump, when that "one man" gives up his work or moves on to other fields.

Book excerpt: “Will resonate with any readers interested in understanding American landscapes where white, evangelical Christianity dominates both politics and culture.” —Publishers Weekly In the wake of the 2016 election, Lyz Lenz watched as her country and her marriage were torn apart by the competing forces of faith and politics. A mother of two, a Christian, and a lifelong resident of middle America, Lenz was bewildered by the pain and loss around her—the empty churches and the broken hearts. What was happening to faith in the heartland? From drugstores in Sydney, Iowa, to skeet shooting in rural Illinois, to the mega churches of Minneapolis, Lenz set out to discover the changing forces of faith and tradition in God’s country. Part journalism, part memoir, God Land is a journey into the heart of a deeply divided America. Lenz visits places of worship across the heartland and speaks to the everyday people who often struggle to keep their churches afloat and to cope in a land of instability. Through a thoughtful interrogation of the effects of faith and religion on our lives, our relationships, and our country, God Land investigates whether our divides can ever be bridged and if America can ever come together. “God Land, Lyz Lenz’s much-anticipated debut book, is a marvel. Not only is it a window into the middle America so many like to stereotype but fail to fully understand in all of its complexity, but it mixes reportage, memoir, and gorgeous prose so seamlessly I wanted to know how she did it.” —Sarah Weinman, author of The Real Lolita

Book excerpt: The book shares the challenges of going to church and not identifying with others in the church, being an outcast. The book identifies the Pews as a Spiritual force that impacts the decision of the believer based on passed down traditional denomination and groups, thus the believer has a challenge understanding the Spiritual force of God. The Author shares some of his experiences with church life in hopes that church believers will become transparent and reach out a hand of friendship to people they see every week in the Pews, because they seek a Spiritual force not a physical enmity.

Download or read book The Uncomfortable Pew written by Bruce Douville and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Uncomfortable Pew Bruce Douville explores the relationship between Christianity and the New Left in English Canada from 1959 to 1975. Focusing primarily on Toronto, he examines the impact that left-wing student radicalism had on Canada's largest Christian denominations, and the role that Christianity played in shaping Canada’s New Left. Based on extensive archival research and oral interviews, this study reconstructs the social and intellectual worlds of young radicals who saw themselves as part of both the church and the revolution. Douville looks at major communities of faith and action, including the Student Christian Movement, Kairos, and the Latin American Working Group, and explains what made these and other groups effective incubators for left-wing student activism. He also sheds light on Canada's Roman Catholic, Anglican, and United churches and the ways that progressive older Christians engaged with radical youth and the issues that concerned them, including the Vietnam War, anti-imperialism around the globe, women’s liberation, and gay liberation. Challenging the idea that the New Left was atheistic and secular, The Uncomfortable Pew reveals that many young activists began their careers in student Christian organizations, and these religious and social movements deeply influenced each other. While the era was one of crisis and decline for leading Canadian churches, Douville shows how Christianity retained an important measure of influence during a period of radical social change.
