Download or read book New Ecclesiology & Polity: The United Church of Christ written by Clyde J. Steckel. This book was released on 2009-10-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "New Ecclesiology and Polity," Steckel argues that the United Church of Christ ecclesiology and its polity have an urgent need to be re-examined and re-shaped if the church is to be a faithful and strong ministry in the post-modern world. He describes the transition from modernity to post-modernity focusing on ways the United Church of Christ, is aware of these transitions in the life of the church, but no awareness of how the denominational governing structures undermine faithful mission in a post-modern world.
