How many things does your church do just because that's the way it's always been done? Does your congregation value tradition over passion and stability over creativity? If so, it's time to unLearn. UnLearning congregations value transformation over information, and create a safe space for the tough and unanswerable questions of life. UnLearning Church casts a vision for innovative and authentic congregations, and for the kind of leadership that can bring congregations to greater vitality and impact in today's postmodern culture.
“As I've watched the career of Michael Slaughter through the years, I've seen not just a strong and effective leader, but also a lifelong learner. In this book, you can not only learn what he's learned about church life and mission, but you can catch his love for learning itself. The former will instruct you, and the latter will inspire you.”
Brian McClaren, author, speaker, pastor, activist
“What the church lacks today is not so much more knowledge or greater technique. It lacks imagination!
Mike Slaughter is right. We need to unlearn all the standard formulae, all the evangelistic equations, all the church growth manuals. We need our imaginations stimulated by our fear of a clean slate.”
Michael Frost, Director of the Centre for Evangelism and Global Mission, Morling Baptist Seminary in Sydney, Australia
