| Summary: | Can an organization avoid implementing the practices and belief systems that dominate its field and continue to thrive? This is the central question of Josh Packard's The Emerging Church, an interview-based study of what he refers to as the Emerging Church movement. Packard draws on 59 in-depth interviews and participant observation within six congregations to identify practices within the “anti-institutional Emerging Church” that allow congregations to resist and avoid institutional pressures. |
