"...Benac offers a realistic and actionable framework for how church leaders can find resources and create networks to strengthen congregations in a post-Christian America. --Brian Louis ""Presbyterian Outlook"""

"""...a stimulating and enriching book, one which challenged my thinking and provided helpful concepts to explore the ecclesiology of such communities. For those looking for an ecclesiology of church drawing on these new communities, this book provides rich starting points for developing such an ecclesiology weaving together helpful ideas of adaptive change, imagination and theological redescription. For those working in the kinds of hubs, networks and organizations that are the focus of the book, the practical wisdom and conceptual frameworks developed here will provide important and enlightening ways to reflect on and develop their work."" --James Butler, University of Roehampton, London; Church Mission Society, Oxford ""Ecclesial Futures"" Benac has shown that the catalyst for further adaptation lies in the connections between groups and has outlined the structures and leadership needed in organisational hubs that form the glue between different communities in a mixed ecclesial ecology. This book, and the last two chapters in particular, are full of practical wisdom for such situations. --Andrew Dunlop, Editor in Chief ""Ecclesial Practices"" ...Benac offers a realistic and actionable framework for how church leaders can find resources and create networks to strengthen congregations in a post-Christian America. --Brian Louis ""Presbyterian Outlook"""
