| Résumé : |
Guidelines and structures for developing tomorrow's church.
For the last twenty years, the Church of England has on average closed one church per week. Yet all over the country new congregations are meeting in pubs, schools, community centers and redundant churches, and are bringing life and hope to some of the people most neglected by the church and society. Planting New Churches presents examples of church planting in practice: some are from large churches such as Holy Trinity, Brompton and St Thomas Crookes in Sheffield. Others are smaller in scale but no less inspiring, with teams going into tough urban areas or huge Local Authority estates previously untouched by the church. The book also provides invaluable resource material. The latest information on church planting is presented. The future of the parish system is considered. The theological implications are tackled by George Carey, writing on ecclesiology and mission, and David Gillett covering training. Problems are faced along with the joys; and the pioneers of early plants (now 20 years old) offer reflections on what has been learnt. Planting New Churches is essential reading for all concerned with the future mission and ministry of the Church of England. |
