The Dock Book Group is meeting again on Saturday 7th August – so it’s time to delve into our next work of literature…

And this time we’re really getting serious – the book has pie charts and everything! It’s called ‘Exiles’ by Michael Frost and it can be Amazonned here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Exiles-Living-Missionally-Post-Christian-Culture/dp/1565636708/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278715192&sr=8-1

I’ve just finished Chapter One and it’s brilliant so far. Talking about the ‘post-Christian culture’ we live in, the author argues that the age of Christendom, in which Christianity was the state-sponsored and state-supported religion, is well and truly over – but that this is the most fantastic challenge and wake-up call to an authentic church. Mighty stuff!  It’s pitched as a book for “people who are not at home in the traditional church or in the secular world” – a pretty good description of where The Dock finds itself at the moment…

Pop a copy in your suitcase, catch up with it on a sun-lounger on the beach over the next few weeks, and make a date in the diary to chat about it all on 7th Aug… see you there!
