Churches Enhance Community Engagement Across America

Bobby Angel's forthcoming book, The Postmodern Predicament, argues for hope and renewal within the Church despite the challenges posed by postmodernism, such as rising tribalism and psychological issues like gender dysphoria. He notes a resurgence in faith through the proliferation of faith-based media and the shift towards more inspiring church architecture. Meanwhile, New Beginnings Non-Denominational Church opened in Louisville, led by Alderman Stephen Hampton, who emphasized community growth and engagement. Additionally, Andrews University received over $6 million from the Lilly Endowment to support rural church ministries, highlighting efforts to enhance vitality in smaller communities. A new center in Bucaramanga, Colombia, offers spiritual support in a hospital setting, demonstrating the Church's outreach in healthcare. Lastly, a seminar is set to explore the purpose and practices of communal worship, aiming to address the disconnect some feel in traditional church services.
