Important read for the Christian church, ( ) Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I'm pretty much a pacifist-Christian anarchist. Pavlovitz is a liberal democrat. His work gets old after a while; this book's antagonism toward Trump and his supporters is perfectly understandable but it gets old fast. Still it makes some good points and is worth a read. Quickly. And without spending too much energy on it. Others make the same points better without alienating people.Pastor Pavlovitz explores the size of God, the size of his table, and why we have diversity and what that means for hospitality. Get used to it, because religion cannot thrive if it presumes facts not in evidence. Pavlovitz is a response to the Right Wing that wants to start an uncivil war in the Church, and thinks that an adulterating serial liar and slandering hatemonger who has never been spotted in a Church is somehow worthy of a rapture of any kind. OK, that's just my own take on context. This book is filled with powerful anecdotes for justification. We are saved by "community"; the message is "take courage" and give hope. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This book sets out to break the shackles of confinement that a lot of churches find themselves in. The erstwhile pastor and blogger attempts to show why and how churches can embrace more people wherever they are. There are people who are distressed by traditional religion, but yet feel a connection to God somehow, and might describe themselves as spiritual. The bigger table where anyone might meet ones faith or even meet Jesus is at the fellowship of the table. There are four legs: radical hospitality, total authenticity, true diversity, and an agenda-free community. This means not pre-judging people, not hiding behind a false front, being really diverse (racial and sexual), and not having a church who secretly lay out a path for acceptance. Pavlovitz we need to address our fear in ourselves and in other people to b really the church. All this can be messy and the author doesn't lay out a specific paradigm that one has to follow, maybe the Holy Spirit is the director. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The question I kept asking after each chapter was why was this book written? For those who have read his blog you basically get he book. It’s not bad but it’s not really needed. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

No one likes to eat alone; to approach a table filled with people, only to be told that despite the open chairs there isn't room for you. The rejection stings. It leaves a mark. Yet this is exactly what the church has been saying to far too many people for far too long: "You're not welcome here. Find someplace else to sit." How can we extend unconditional welcome and acceptance in a world increasingly marked by bigotry, fear, and exclusion? Pastor John Pavlovitz invites readers to join him on the journey to find -- or build -- a church that is big enough for everyone. He speaks clearly into the heart of the issues the Christian community has been earnestly wrestling with: LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, and global concerns. A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, Hopeful Spiritual Community asks if organized Christianity can find a new way of faithfully continuing the work Jesus began two thousand years ago, where everyone gets a seat. Pavlovitz shares moving personal stories and his careful observations as a pastor to set the table for a new, more loving conversation on these and other important matters of faith. He invites us to build the bigger table Jesus imagined, practicing radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and agenda-free community.
