4 Part series on Christendom

Stuart Murray unpacks what 1600 years of Christendom has left us with.

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.

God is with us on the Treadmill...

Ryan Boulger on treadmills, realms and exposes a lie we've been fed since the 14th Century!

Why bother with Church?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.

What is this postmodern and post-Christian thang?

Stuart Murray lists everything (almost) you wanted to know about post-modernism and post-christendom but were too afraid to ask?

Church NextChurch 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.

How to reach this generation...

Stuart Murray shares his thoughts on how we can get the message across.
