Paradoxy: Creating Christian Community beyond Us and Them

A Christian of Jewish origins and the founding pastor of a thriving new church that intentionally resurrected itself from the wounded remnants of a previous congregation that tore itself apart over issues of human sexuality, Ken Howard brings a unique perspective and unusual sensitivity to the challenge of creating Christian community whose sense of "US" doesn't require a "THEM." Adroitly avoiding both oversimplification and academic jargon, Howard examines the many ways the Church currently finds itsef stuck, explains how we got here, and lays out seven Biblically-grounded principles that church leaders can employ to lead their congregations and their denominations into the future into which God is calling them.
