Letters From Leavers

As this site states elsewhere, its creators are grad students at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. The Letters From Leavers project was initially launched in February 2007 as a means of collecting research for a course called Theology & Culture taught by Dr. John Drane.

This resource section serves as a repository for links that we think are relevant to our research. Here, you’ll find links to other sites, blogs, books, music, and anything else we come across related to the decline of the Christian church in Western cultures, research and insight on those that are leaving churches, and efforts to re-envision church for the 21st century.

In no way are we vouching for any of these sources, and the views expressed by these voices do not always agree with our own, but this is merely a collection of resources we’ve come across during the development of the LFL project.

Books

Courtesy of Amazon.com, we’ve created a “Books of Interest” library.
