When you think about your community or the neighborhoods around you, how many church buildings do you think you pass by on a daily basis? What takes place in those buildings, both on Sundays and throughout the week? And how do those spaces serve the people in close proximity? These are questions that Mark Elsdon and this group of contributors have spent a lot of time thinking about and acting on. In this edited volume, Gone for Good?, authors from an array of disciplines offer unique insights into the buildings that congregations and communities inhabit and what is happening to them as church attendance continues to decline. There is so much food for thought here!
