Secular Lives, Sacred Hearts

Mehr zum Buch

Challenging the conventional view of secular Britain, the book argues for understanding the nation as 'culturally Christian.' It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the significance of traditional rites like baptisms, weddings, and funerals, suggesting that the church should engage more deeply with the community's needs during these moments. Drawing on small-scale research from the author's parish, it advocates for revitalizing the concept of the local church as a parish church, dedicated to serving everyone within its reach.
