Transforming Beliefs: Faith in a Polarized World
This chapter examines the evolution of political and religious dynamics within congregations since the early 2000s, shifting focus from minister-led engagement to congregants' political identities. It emphasizes the need for personal transformation and local community engagement over broader political ambitions, all while addressing the anxieties that shape modern faith experiences. The chapter also highlights the significance of genuine connection within the church, especially in the digital age, and the adaptation of spiritual practices to foster community amidst societal changes.
