Originally published 2007. Instead of writing a book that might have been overlooked, the author has tackled this subject by writing a story of a fictional church facing change. Very American as you would expect but don’t be put off. It is an enjoyable and straightforward ‘read’ that packs a punch in its message that it would be good for all of us to heed. The older generation who once were the backbone of the church is feeling pushed out by the up and coming youngsters, hence the remark of the one who felt her church was being stolen from her. The choir has been disbanded; the organist retired and was not replaced, there is a music group instead; modern songs are sung instead of the good old tried and tested hymns – I could go on. The pastor calls together a group of the disaffected and they start to meet every week to discuss the issues raised. He calls them the Discovery Group, and indeed they discover many things, about themselves and about the newcomers and young people. Most of us could relate to what is going on here. It matters not what sort of church you attend, you will recognise these attitudes and behaviours among your fellow church goers and hopefully will give pause for thought and reflection on your own situation be ye young or old.
