Strayed: A Compass for America's Church

By David Dennis

It began as a movement. Organic. Circular. An ecosystem of ordinary believers gathered in homes, every voice in the room a priest, every "one another" a lifeline.

Somewhere along the way it became a machine. Hierarchical. Industrial. A pew-packing complex built to fill seats faster than people slip out the back door.

A licensed therapist, a former CEO, and a man who left the machine, David Dennis offers a compass-not a verdict-to the leaders running it, the laity sustaining it, and the lost sheep who walked out the door it built. "A movement does not need pews. It needs a table," he says.

David Dennis is a licensed family therapist and former CEO. He writes from inside the streets, not above them.
