How should you deal with conflict in your church?
What is a "sacrament"?
Why are there so many different church "denominations"?
What are the roles of the clergy and the roles of the laity?
How can you "keep the Sabbath"?
Christians often profess that Jesus is Lord over all of life. Yet it isn't always easy to relate Christianity to your day-to-day activities and concerns--even those of the church!
R. Paul Stevens and Robert Banks, editors of The Complete Book of Everyday Christianity on which this Everyday Faith eSeries title is based, believe Christian truth is for the routines and not just the crises of life. From committees and conflict to preaching and sacraments, their collection of twenty-seven thought-provoking essays will guide you in bringing your faith to bear on issues of church life.
Whether you read from beginning to end or dip into the articles that interest you most, you'll gain insight on how Christian faith can guide, illuminate and energize your daily life.
