Description

How do cathedrals
and churches understand themselves? Are they shop windows, through which to
gaze at the riches on offer within the Christian life? Are they beacons of
hope? Are they places of common understanding for all? Implicitly, discussion
may draw on metaphor without fully appreciating the ‘ground’ (that is, the
resemblance between ‘target’ and ‘source’), not only in describing
sociological and ecclesiological phenomena, but actually shaping and
transforming them. 

This novel and innovative volume focuses attention for the first time on
analysis ?both conceptual and empirical in nature? designed to illuminate the
power of metaphors used of cathedrals and churches. It will provide an
important contribution to the scholarship in cathedral and congregational
studies and a thought-provoking critique for anybody with responsibility for
the mission and ministry of cathedrals and parish churches in the U.K and
beyond.
