Mission-Shaped Church

Church planting and fresh expressions of church in a changing context

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.

This detached, practical, 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 effective church planting and includes recommendations to make possible the visions of a vibrant future Church.

"'Mission-Shaped Church' gives us a wonderful map to follow as we encourage one another on the challenging journey of engaging with our many emerging cultures and contexts." The Rev. Bob Hopkins, Anglican Church Planting Initiatives

Includes a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
