"Gretta Vosper has been "irritating the church into the 21st cantury" since founding the Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity in 2004, challenging the liberal church to take seriously the need for theologically barrier-free communities. She has practised what she preaches at West Hill United Church in Toronto for over 20 years."--Page 4 of cover
Why the Way We Live Is More Important Than What We Believe
Gretta Vosper presents a vision for a future where the Christian church can significantly influence society through transformative change. As the founder of the Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity, she argues that for the church to thrive, it must embrace a radical reimagining of faith. Her insights challenge traditional beliefs and advocate for a more progressive approach to spirituality, aiming to revitalize the church's role in contemporary life.
For many people, prayer is an essential part of daily life, connecting them with God, a force or the universe, bringing them, among other things, assistance and protection. Others cannot imagine being so dependent upon a concept they can neither justify nor comprehend. In Amen, Gretta Vosper, United Church minister and author of the controversial bestseller With or Without God, offers us her deeply felt examination of worship beyond conventional prayer, and a call to a new tradition that can survive beyond the beliefs that divide.
