Description

No one likes to eat alone; to approach a table filled with people, only to learn that regardless of the open chairs there isn t room for you. The rejection stings. It leaves a mark. Yet this is exactly what the church has been saying to far too many of us for far too long: “You are not welcome here. Find someplace else to take a seat. How are we able to extend unconditional welcome and acceptance in a world more and more marked by bigotry, fear, and exclusion? Pastor John Pavlovitz invites readers to sign up for him on the journey to find or build a church that may be big enough for everyone. He speaks clearly into the heart of the issues the Christian community has been earnestly wrestling with: LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, and global concerns. A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, Hopeful Spiritual Community asks if organized Christianity can find a new way of faithfully continuing the work Jesus started two thousand years ago, where everyone gets a seat. Pavlovitz shares moving personal stories and his careful observations as a pastor to set the table for a new, more loving conversation on these and other important matters of faith. He invites us to build the bigger table Jesus imagined, practicing radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and agenda-free community.
