Primary Author mixed material bibliography London Christian Classics, Inc. 1991 Inggris 13,5 x 21,5 cm / 164 pg The Church's courage in adapting to a changing world can mean hard decisions. Churches are closing, religious communities are pulling out of schools, people are finding their traditional ways of prayer and worship changed an"d in some cases abandoned…, As a priest and an anthropologist, Gerald Arbuckle follows his Out of Chaos (Paulist Press/Geoffrey Chapman, 1988) with a look at the psychological and spiritual strategies needed in the Church if people are to cope with change, In particular he emphasizes the need to accept the pain that and such change involves. Just as individuals who suffer loss need to come to terms with it, so institutions need to develop a spirituality of grieving which leads to a creative way forward. The three parts of the book deal with understanding the process of corporate grief, discovering in the Bible a spirituality to underpin it, and giving practical guidelines on how to foster this in Gospel communities. Each chapter ends with a concise summary and questions for discussion.
