Why liberal churches are growing

de Martyn Percy, Ian S. Markham

"Is it not possible that liberal congregations can faithfully live out liberal theologies in ministry and church life and still grow? This collection of essays insists that it is. In a multiplicity of ways, the authors take issue with Dean Kelley's thesis on the characteristics of growing churches. They consider not simply theology, but leadership, worship styles, the presence of youth, luck and the Holy Spirit as factors that affect the reality or absence of church growth."--Foreword.
