Making Sense of Church is a snapshot of TheOoze community conversation as it tries to make sense of God in the emerging worldview. It represents a gathering of individuals with different points of view, theologies,
life contexts, and feelings. Author Spencer Burke, creator of TheOoze.com, provides the framework by sharing his own stories of struggle with the transition form "institutional" to "emerging" church. Using metaphors

"Spencer Burke is the right man at the right place at the right time. He enjoys a ringside seat in the dramatic dialogue between the church of history and the church of post-history. He stands in the middle between where God has been and where God is going. No iconoclast, Burke embraces both past and future while challenging—at the same time—the dead metaphors of a passing culture and the overnight clichés of the new "cool" culture. Throughout his book, he blows away church leaders at both ends of the spectrum with the "extreme reality" of a loving Christ."
