In Journeying in the Wilderness, author Terri Martinson Elton observes that Faith formation in the church setting is contextual, and multiple forces are coming together today to create seismic contextual changes at record speed.
Each chapter includes leadership competencies, shared practices, and group discussion questions..
Processes and practices are offered to help both leaders and congregations contextualize their approach to their particular settings.
The use of stories, nontechnical language, and biblical perspectives make this work accessible for congregational leaders and others who seek to explore new directions in Forming faith.
Elton places confessional understanding of Faith in dialogue with five contextually altering forces in order to provide a pathway for congregations to reimagine Faith formation in the midst of twenty-first-Century realities.
For the church to take seriously its call to form Faith in each generation, it must be attentive to current contextual realities.
These changes are disrupting aspects of our lives, challenging assumptions, and dislodging personal and communal practices.
