Samenvatting

An expert practitioner answers to questions about the burgeoning organic church movement

Neil Cole′s best–selling book Organic Church described the fastest growing segment of contemporary Christianity–the so–called organic church. Now in this next–step book, he answers questions about how to deal with theological and organizational issues that come up. He talks about issues such has what to do with finances, children, heresy, leader training, and rituals and ordinances. Without the top–down structure of a denomination, even people who are proponents of this small, house–church model worry that they are not doing it right.

Offers an important resource for anyone involved with or thinking of starting an organic or house church
Addresses practical issues of theology, rituals, doctrinal heresy, how to handle children, finances, and other important questions
Written by an acknowledged expert who is now and has been for over twenty years an organic church planter and practitioner
A new Leadership Network title and follow–up to Organic Church

Church 3.0 offers solid information about organic churches based on Cole′s extensive experience in starting, nurturing, and mentoring in the organic church movement.
