For some this means leaving communities of faith, or previous understandings, as they journey towards unknown horizons of Christian faith. Their faith is shaken and challenged. Some are no longer members of a local church; others, whom he calls internal leavers, still attend worship but have disengaged mentally. Yet in time, with support of like-minded people, they find within the desert, or emerge from it to find, a new response to God's love - deeper, richer and more rewarding than before - they are called again. Jamieson also raises issues that church leaders need to address if the church is to continue to grow and meet the needs of its community in the future. He urges church leaders to really hear people's struggles and questions so they will be better able to understand, support and connect with those on the margins of their churches. Readers will identify with the personal stories of others' faith journeys. (We meet again several of the people who featured in A Churchless Faith.) Called Again connects people with the stories of others who have been through dark places of the faith and provides resources to support their faith journeys, as they seek to embrace a bigger vision of God at work today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Jamieson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68272114565340,"sku":"W00453","price":11.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9949\/6668\/files\/CalledAgain_InandBeyondtheDesertsofFaithbyAlanJamieson.webp?v=1794620236","url":"https:\/\/www.evermorebooks.co.nz\/products\/called-again-in-and-beyond-the-deserts-of-faith-by-alan-jamieson","provider":"Evermore Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
