Pathways to Belonging

Pathways to Belonging is an invitation to an experience of community, connection, and meaning. We need belonging as much as we need air to fill our lungs. But alienation, isolation, and distrust are the everyday markers of our lives—including our faith communities. The twenty-two contributors in this book offer an engaging path forward, inviting readers to the promise and peril of Christian belonging. Belonging matters now more than ever. Indeed, belonging is the question of this generation. Like the air we breathe, belonging is also a matter of life and death. In an age of self-help strategies and shiny lives, the contributors to this volume are grounded in the depths of lived experience. Contextual, story-driven, and representing a global network of thought leaders, each chapter equips individuals and communities to take the next step. Pathways to Belonging points the way to the expansive, flourishing life for which we yearn.
