Message to a dying church

What if we could confess that after all these years, the truth remains that we’re not very good at Christianity? We might be surprised to find that within our aging congregations is a capacity for wonder and kindness.

Mark Yaconelli is a spiritual director, retreat leader and director of the Youth Ministry and Spirituality Project.

He is the author of Contemplative Youth Ministry: Practicing the Presence of Jesus and Growing Souls � Experiments in Contemplative Youth Ministry. He is currently finishing a book for declining congregations entitled Letter to a Dying Church. Mark is married with three children.
