<B>What does it look like to be an Anabaptist community in the modern world? And why does it matter? </B><BR />  <BR /> A new incarnation of Anabaptism is emerging, but not where we might expect. In the United Kingdom&mdash;a post-Christendom context with little historical Anabaptist presence&mdash;Christian communities are embodying fresh expressions of Anabaptist faith and practice. In this companion to <I>The Naked Anabaptist</I>, author Stuart Murray identifies twelve common practices of such churches and communities that are shaped by an Anabaptist vision. <BR /><BR /> Murray explores how these practices&mdash;which include encouraging economic radicalism in the face of rampant consumerism, truth-telling in a &ldquo;post-truth&rdquo; society, and accountability in an individualistic culture that knows little about the Christian story&mdash;might shape emerging Christian communities and inspire those seeking fresh expressions as cultural changes accelerate. The book concludes with three on-the-ground reports from ministry leaders pursuing this Anabaptist vision in their own post-Christendom contexts.<BR /><BR /><I>The New Anabaptists</I> provides foundational resources for followers of Jesus in many different settings as they rise to the challenge of faithful and radical discipleship in local communities.<BR />
