In-tensional - Justin Duckworth

Are you feeling the weight of confusion and uncertainty in today's world? You're not alone.

Justin Duckworth and Alan Jamieson address the crisis of hopelessness gripping the western world and offer a bold perspective: the answer lies in the life of Jesus and the revitalization of the Christian church.

Anglican archbishop Justin and sociologist pastor Alan unpack the urgent need for church renewal in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Through personal anecdotes, theological insights, and sociological analysis, they paint a compelling picture of what it means to embrace tension and navigate change.

This isn't just another book on church decline. Instead, they invite you into a dialogue between traditional church leaders and forward-thinking pioneers.

In-tensional isn't about theory; it's about sparking conversations that bridge the gap between established church structures and emerging expressions of faith. They delve into the dynamic tension between what's comfortable and what's prophetic, between tradition and innovation.

Drawing from real-world experiences, Justin and Alan navigate the complexities of modern church life. They address the challenges posed by cultural disruptions, mental health crises, and global emergencies like COVID-19 and climate change.

But amidst the chaos, they offer hope. They remind us that throughout history, God has met people in times of crisis, offering new invitations and opportunities for renewal. In-tensional is a call to courage, faithfulness, and unity in a time of unprecedented change.

Join the conversation between Centre-church leaders and Edge-dwellers as they explore what it means to be the church in the 21st century.

Discover how embracing tension can lead to transformation, and how together, we can shape a brighter future for the church in the west.
