Beskrivning

Amidst a world of seemingly endless movement and change many of us feel a longing to be rooted. It is this instinct that has led many to value the parish system, and to question the place of new churches, be they fresh expressions or church plants. This book is about the instinct to form churches that are of and for a particular place, and what this might mean in a world where place is contested, interconnected, and ever-changing. Above all it is an attempt to move the conversation beyond the binary choices of parish or non, new or inherited. It offers a powerful and persuasive vision for a Church that is national only by being local; a vision that can only be realised as churches continually become present to their places.

Recensioner i media

"... a beautifully written, sensitive and timely book. Its passionate argument for doing church together, in caring for the places that we inhabit, brings a much-needed sense of the possibilities of the present moment and the richness of working together across parishes and fresh expressions."
