Alan Jamieson talks about “Chrysalis” with Len Hjalmarson

Paul notes – Alan Jamieson was recently interviewed by Canadian friend, Len Hjalmarson. Here’s the opening question

“Alan, it sounds like you wrote this book with a specific audience in mind… those who have either left the “organized” church or those who for whatever reason feel they can’t pursue their journey within the church. Can you comment?

Alan: In this book I hoped to update and make more readably available the material in ‘Journeying in Faith’ and the 8 years Jenny McIntosh and I worked with people in faith (and church) pain. Chrysalis was written for those who leave organized church but also those who loyally stay when the lights have gone out within (Internal leavers). But there was also one other major reader in mind – the church leaders/pastors. I wanted to include them so they might understand, validate and be able to accompany people in the midst of faith transformations…”
