The Great Spiritual Migration Book Group
“The Christian story, from Genesis until now, is fundamentally about people on the move - outgrowing old, broken religious systems and embracing new, more redemptive ways of life. It’s time to move again."
In The Great Spiritual Migration, Brian McLaren argues that Christian faith is not dying. Rather, it is embarking on a once-in-an-era spiritual shift.
We will study his book in the hope of finding inspiration, provocation, encouragement and a spur to good discussion.
