Description

Book Synopsis: Dancing in the Garden of Hope is the story of two rural congregations served by Rev. Dr. Lynne Humphries-Russ. They are a faith community which looks through a Gospel-centered message of hope to fulfill Jesus' mandate to make disciples in our increasingly secularized world. How do faith communities survive and thrive in this changing and broken world? The oral histories in this book come from a representative, diverse sample of church members from two sister congregations in rural Maryland with numerous legacy family members. They speak the Churches' and communities' past and present stories, hoping to imagine their future story. Through the challenges of life during the COVID pandemic and in the changes brought about by this secularized world, these communities are searching to be empowered as new iterations to fulfill their image of themselves as disciples of Jesus Christ and proclaim the Gospel of hope. These stories, their place in the world story, and their struggle for identity and purpose in challenging times of the past and present fill up the garden of hope, illustrating how we are all made in God’s image.
