Reshaping the Church

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.

New Ecclesiology and Polity describes the transition from modernity to post-modernity in religion, focusing on ways in which the United Church of Christ is aware of these transitions in the life of church, but lacks awareness of how denominational governing structures undermine faithful mission in a post-modern world.
