Riassunto

Many have pontificated about church growth, telling church planters and pastors how to increase the number of attendees and members. Most have spoken authentically from inspiring experiences, and what they’ve recommended has worked . . . at least for some. But what about advice on how to reduce those numbers, how to empty those pews? This “manual” provides just that, and its suggestions don’t emanate from an ivory tower; they, too, are based on real-life experiences. The insights and guidelines of How to Empty a Church may be expressed tongue-in-cheek, but they’re not fictional; they reflect the history of an actual congregation. Fasten your seatbelt; it’s going to be a bumpy—but worthwhile—ride!

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

John S. Oldfield, a graduate of the College of Wooster and Denver Seminary, was a pastor for over forty-one years--in rural, urban, and suburban communities. He and his wife Dagmar planted Yorktowne Chapel in center-city York, Pennsylvania, ""from scratch"" and pastored it for twenty-eight years. With unusual transparency, he tells that story in this book. A widower, he has four children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandson. After eleven years in metro-Phoenix, Arizona, he resides again in York.
