A Phila Friend asked me if this is relevant to Convergent convs?
Julie Clawson’s review (above):
“The basic premise of the book is that the future of the church is in its global non-white manifestations, but that the church is currently being held back by its captivity to white Western systems of thought. While some are lamenting the decline of Christianity in America, they fail to realize that it is only in white America that it is in decline.”
My Philadelphia Friend’s query (via email):
I wonder whether the Convergent Friends group is a first step toward a greater convergency … or a shoring up of U.S. cultural understandings that may not speak very powerfully to Quakerism among other cultural groups, especially in what we Eurocentrically call developing nations.
