Paul faced this quandry in his epistles. Human nature being what it is a fractured self inflicted wound by the Created though healing is still in a fractured state, missing the mark, aka Sin, living a Sinful Life yet forgiven through Christs sacrificial death and resurrection to someday be fully restored in communion with him in the perfection that the Creator intended us to be...in his very own self image.
Yet sin has a way of creeping in when we let our guard down or when we doubt our faith by placing greater faith in our doubts. Here is a book that takes you through the history and remedy, if you want to call it that, of surviving the political angst that afflicts many parishes today, be they Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant. It is human nature at its worst and best.
Take a gander and learn some of life's lessons these parishioners applied in collaboration with their parish priest to turn their church from an empty nest to a full house. It has to do with scripture and specifically the Gospels or more aptly The Word of God.
You know you can't go wrong there. Here then is "Rebuilt" + The Story of A Catholic Parish.
