Mission-Shaped Church by Rowan Williams
Society in Britain has changed dramatically in the last 30 years, especially in terms of our understanding of community and how we relate to one another. One of the responses of the Church has been to plant new churches and create 'fresh expressions' of church; churches that relate to our changing context. With a new foreward by the Rt Revd Graham Cray, this detailed, practical and well-researched report: gives an overview of recent developments in church planting; describes varied and exciting 'fresh expressions' of church; offers practical help and advice; looks candidly at where lessons can be learned; proposes a framework and methodology for good, effective church planting; includes recommendations to make possible the visions of a vibrant future Church. Each chapter has a set of questions and challenges to help local parish churches engage with the issues.
'All church leaders and any member of a church who wishes to have their horizons extended should read this book.. Each chapter ends with probing questions, so this would be an excellent workbook for any church leadership team. My guess is that anyone who reads it prayerfully and thoughtfully is bound to be spurred into action.' -- Tim Hurren
