A moving account of how one church learned to center their life together around the practice of conversation and became a beacon of hope along the way.
Englewood Christian Church was once a thriving megachurch, but as its surrounding urban neighborhood declined, so did the church.
Today, both the church and neighborhood are thriving, and ECC's impact far outweighs the size of its congregation. The ECC story upends the common wisdom about "best practices" for churches that want to participate in cultivating God's kingdom.
How did they do it? Through conversation.
The Virtue of Dialogue tells that story. You'll come away with a renewed vision for how the practice of conversation-though never easy-is essential for both congregational formation and deeper rootedness in your place.
"This little book could be revolutionary for your own faith community." -Scot McKnight, author of A Church Called Tov
