Has the Church lost sight of her original vocation of living out her mission by serving the world? There is a prevailing ecclesiology of fatalism which suggests that it has, and that there is nothing to do be done about. This book argues however, that the church still has a role in bearing witness fruitfully and creatively even within a context of crisis. Leading thinkers offer theoretical, contextual and practical responses to encourage a renewed love for the church and renewed energy to bear witness appropriately and creatively.
Chapters include:
Richard Bauckham – on New Testament perspectives on a church in crisis
Alister McGrath – challenging the narrative of decline
Rev Dr Carlton Turner – on BAME Presence and the Witness of Diversity and Inclusion
Dr Susie Snyder – on attending to those on the margins
Cathy Ross leads the pioneer training programme for Church Mission Society. She is the author of numerous books and co-editor of 'Missional Conversations'
Humphrey Southern is Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon.
