Description For three generations, God\'s chosen People were exiles in the land of Babylon.
Rick lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and four children..
In 2012, Portland Monthly magazine voted him one of Portland\'s 50 Most Influential People and he is widely respected as a leader who navigates the issues surrounding faith, culture, and the church.

About the author Rick Mc Kinley (DMin, Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary) is the founder and lead pastor of Imago Dei Community and is the author of five books.
He shows exiled Christians how People of Faith from other times and places discovered how to live faithfully, prophetically, and imaginatively, neither compromising their principles nor their compassion, and never giving in to despair.
They want to know: What does it mean to be the People of God now? That\'s the question Rick Mc Kinley seeks to answer.
These exiles are looking for a new way of understanding what Faith looks like in a polarized, pluralistic, post-Christian culture.
And in between are those who are uncomfortable with either extreme, who feel spiritually homeless.
Others seek to assimilate the values of our culture into the church.
Some desire to conquer our Babylon and return to a type of Christendom they believe existed in an idealized past.
Today, many Christians in America feel like exiles within their own country, and there is growing disagreement regarding how to live faithfully in This complex cultural moment.
