Ordinary, Everyday Discipleship: Banding Together for Faithful Living at Home, Work, and in the World

Abstract

The rediscovery of the church calendar, specifically Ordinary time and the daily office in popular Christian publishing, prompts the recovery of the whole of everyday life as integral to Christian discipleship. This paper considers how intentional Christian community in the spirit of the eighteenth-century Methodists that leverages insights from transformational learning theory offers contemporary Christians an opportunity for considering the small moments of everyday as important to faithful Christian discipleship.
