“Strange Rites explores and analyzes seven different movements in contemporary modern American life, all of which function—at some level—as new faith systems after the decline of mainline Protestantism. The current age, for Burton, is decidedly not secular.” - John Ehrett

I literally just published this short piece in which I share my horror at what our society has become, and the seemingly insurmountable challenges the Church in the West faces. This book will help me.

Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government.
