This is the very first time in the history of That Makes Total Sense! where a guest has played live music as a part of the conversation and I am here for it! Dr. Mark Glanville, pastor, author, and scholar, is also a professional jazz pianist and he can’t help but see how an exploration of the practice and art of jazz can help us practice church life together. In his new book, Improvising Church, Mark asks questions of our current ecclesial practices and suggests some innovative ways of looking at our communities and living together in harmony. This is one you don’t want to miss!
