Root: Playing House

The quote is from Andrew Root. I have been following Andrew Root for awhile and have always enjoyed listening to him speak. I especially enjoy his thoughts on youth & family ministry and the concept of place sharing. I recently went to hear him at the Equipping Congregations event we had at Southwest Minnesota Synod. For those of you who may have not ran across him; here is a little information:

Andrew Root joined Luther Seminary in 2005 as assistant professor of youth and family ministry. Previously he was an adjunct professor at Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington D.C., and Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, N.J. 

Root received his bachelor of arts degree from Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn., in 1997.  He earned his master of divinity (2000) and his master of theology (2001) degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, Calif.  He completed his doctoral degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2005.

The Quote

The quote comes from the following book: The Promise of Despair: The Way of the Cross as the Way of the Church (Living Theology). if you want more information on the book or interested in purchasing it; you can find the description here on Amazon.

I think that too many times, we are just "playing"
