The Church Cracked Open: Disruption, Decline and New Hope Book Study and Group Coaching

Stephanie Speller’s book The Church Cracked Open is a vitally important map for all church leaders in this time.   It tells the truth about our complicated relationship with colonialism and racism,  is clear about our current reality, and invites us into hard work towards a hopeful vision for the future. Join a group of Episcopal clergy and leaders from other mainline denominations to read and apply this work to your own life and your ministry setting.
