The church in the West faces an identity crisis that has us reaching for a way of being church that matters more in our lives and to the world. Here is a timely call to take stock in this liminal space, seeking an ancient way that can point us to a more Jesus-centered, collaborative, generous, honest, peace-filled, and just expression of the faith. Stuart Murray and his colleagues humbly offer a winsome description of shared practices for Anabaptist Christians that can form emerging and existing Christian communities toward a renewed identity and witness for our time., A number of Jesus followers in Britain and Ireland have been courting Anabaptism for several decades. More recently they have strengthened that relationship by 'announcing their engagement' through a set of Anabaptist-inspired common practices and by undertaking new peacemaking and church planting initiatives. This is their story. If you are wondering what vibrant, authentic, and local Anabaptist life and witness might look like in their post-Christendom context and other settings like it, this book should rise to the top of your reading list., I encourage broad use of The New Anabaptists . It builds on the foundations of the early Anabaptist movement by reporting how current believers in new places and in new ways are sharing their faith and practices. We may see many churches declining, but Stuart Murray's book helps us see it emerging in new, creative ways. This book gives me hope for the future of the Anabaptist church in post-Christendom., As I read The New Anabaptists , I kept remembering the moments when my children entered this world: it was fraught with danger, full of pain, noisy, messy, and full of apprehension--yet those were among the most beautiful and life-giving moments of my existence. Such is the nature of the core practices that Stuart Murray describes when lived out: they can be difficult, there are dangers to watch out for, and we may experience apprehension--yet when we put them into practice, we also experience the life-giving Spirit of God. This book will likely challenge something about the way that you live, but any challenge rooted in leading us closer to Jesus is worth the discomfort it may cause., In this thought-provoking book, Stuart Murray Williams explores the outworking of Anabaptist convictions and values through specific practices, and three further chapters written by practitioners demonstrate how both values and practices are being expressed in specific situations. Inspiring and practical, The New Anabaptists will be invaluable for individuals and communities seeking to be faithful followers of Jesus today., Offering an excellent companion volume to his earlier book The Naked Anabaptist , Stuart Murray's The New Anabaptists fleshes out the faith practices that characterize emerging Anabaptist (and Anabaptist-adjacent) communities. Murray offers a refreshing articulation of how Anabaptist theology might translate into the real-world experience of Christ followers in a variety of contemporary settings. This vision will be appealing to scholars, clergy, students, and laity alike as it inspires dreams for how an Anabaptist faith might be practiced in the twenty-first century., What a thoughtful, honest, and practical resource for those yearning for authentic neo-Anabaptist expressions of Christian life! Here is a vision of what such a life might look like, grounded in actual communities and their accounts of struggle as well as joy of being part of something life-giving and life-transforming. While particular in its focus and context, this book will be an inspiration to many, not only in Britain and Ireland but also far beyond.

Synopsis
What does it look like to be an Anabaptist community in the modern world? And why does it matter? A new incarnation of Anabaptism is emerging, but not where we might expect. In the United Kingdom--a post-Christendom context with little historical Anabaptist presence--Christian communities are embodying fresh expressions of Anabaptist faith and practice. In this companion to The Naked Anabaptist , author Stuart Murray identifies twelve common practices of such churches and communities that are shaped by an Anabaptist vision. Murray explores how these practices--which include encouraging economic radicalism in the face of rampant consumerism, truth-telling in a "post-truth" society, and accountability in an individualistic culture that knows little about the Christian story--might shape emerging Christian communities and inspire those seeking fresh expressions as cultural changes accelerate. The book concludes with three on-the-ground reports from ministry leaders pursuing this Anabaptist vision in their own post-Christendom contexts. The New Anabaptists provides foundational resources for followers of Jesus in many different settings as they rise to the challenge of faithful and radical discipleship in local communities., What does it look like to be an Anabaptist community in the modern world? And why does it matter? A new incarnation of Anabaptism is blossoming--but not where we might expect. In the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, and other post-Christendom contexts with little historical Anabaptist presence, Christian communities are embodying novel expressions of Anabaptist faith and practice. In this companion to The Naked Anabaptist , author Stuart Murray identifies twelve common practices of such churches and communities that are shaped by an Anabaptist vision. Murray explores how these practices--which include encouraging economic radicalism in the face of rampant consumerism, truth-telling in a "post-truth" society, accountability in an individualistic culture, peaceful activism in a world in conflict, and faithful witness in communities that no longer know much about the Christian story--might shape and grow emerging Christian communities and inspire those that seek fresh expressions as cultural changes accelerate. The New Anabaptists provides foundational resources for followers of Jesus in many different contexts as they rise to the challenge of embodying faithful and radical discipleship in local communities.

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
