Beskrivning
The essays brought together here present a broad assessment of the serious issues facing rural life and the rural church today. The authors are drawn from the Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and Pentecostal Churches. The essays explore a wide range of biblical, theological, sociological, and historical concerns and topics. Throughout, the book is informed by a spirit of listening - to church-goers, clergy, church leaders, and local communities. Rural Life and Rural Church provides an invaluable resource for clergy and lay Christians involved in rural ministry, initial and continuing ministerial education, and Christian men and women living in the countryside.

Recensioner i media

"An excellent and authoritative account of current research, research that needs to be taken seriously by all who are shaping the future of our rural churches, both ordained and lay. Here is material that will help us cherish the virtue and integrity of our calling; a calling that originated in a small countryside mission beside Lake Galilee." From the Foreword by The Right Reverend Mark Rylands, The Bishop of Shrewsbury "Rural Life and Rural Church provides substantial evidence of the peculiar joys and challenges of the context it explores - This wealthy resource of serious research and careful theological reflection affirms the rural church and can serve to inform and inspire." - Theology
