Reddit mentions of The Church Event: Call and Challenge of a Church Protestant

Here's a book I think might help you make a decision. It's called The Church Event: Call and Challenge of a Church Protestant by Vitor Westhelle. He discusses the church as an entity that can become either too focused on itself (thus becoming guilty of Idol worship, i.e. focusing more on itself than the Church within the world) or too focused on the outside world (thus becoming demonic, i.e. unable to speak for itself). Many churches have a hard time finding the balance between the two, where Church does the most good. It is a difficult read, but it may shed some further light as to what could be causing issues for you in your church.
