Is the church becoming polarized too? We'd like to believe disunity is just a political problem, but division and discord infect our churches as well. The reality is that rural and urban churches typically know plenty of stereotypes about one another but have few actual relationships with one another. As a result, there's little interaction between the two groups. Rural churches end up isolated and lack the resources they need, while urban and suburban churches miss out on the wisdom of their rural brothers and sisters. The Forgotten Church analyzes how we got here, how to move forward, and what we can learn from one another along the way. It will teach you the truth about rural culture and spiritual life, as well as the history, strengths, and challenges of today's rural church. We cannot afford to live our separate church lives anymore. It's time to embrace one another and work together as one body. If we cannot find a way to stand together, we will fail alone.
