Living on the
Margins 
Stuart Murray explores how it feels for the church in Britain
to be out in the cold and no longer at the centre of social
and cultural life.
He recognises that as we enter the third millennium we need
to discover new ways of being church that operate from the
margins, that do not require as much institutional support,
are less grandiose and expensive to maintain, that abandon
an inappropriate moral majority stance in favour of a prophetic
vocation, and embody the missionary ethos appropriate in post-Christendom.

Why
bother with Church? 
Read the first chapter from Simon Jones' latest book. It's
full of stories of why the Church is failing us. It also recognises
that our bad experiences of church should mould our expectations
and fuel our determination to make belonging to the people
of God work for our good and for the good of the communities
we live in.

is this postmodern and post-Christian thang?

to ask?

Church
Next 
church next is a book that identifies some of the major storm-centres
through which churches must navigate, not in order to return
to a previously more tranquil world, but to enter an entirely
new one. It looks at mission, church structures, developing
new leaders and mentoring, worship, spirituality and evangelism,
and asks how our ministry must change in order to serve a
new generation of Christians.
This is a must read book if you are involved in church
leadership and have a heart for reach the emerging generation.
Eddie Gibbs and Ian Coffey provide challenging and practical
insights to help the church avoid extinction.
