A tried-and-tested resource for the renewal of the local church. Faced with the unsustainability of many inherited patterns of church, the temptation may be to fall into despondency rather than seeking to regenerate patterns of mission and ministry. This book is the result of a two-year research project aimed at enabling local churches to regain a sense of confidence through exploring God’s blessing and how that might be shared with the communities they serve.
In Part One, Robin explores the meaning of blessing and the power of face-to-face group conversations to transform church congregations. Part Two of the book contains outlines for five guided conversations for change on the theme of blessing. Part Three contains case study material of how this material has been used in different contexts, including for Mission Action Planning (MAP).
The Rev Canon Dr Robin Greenwood was until recently Vicar of St Mary the Virgin, Monkseaton, in Newcastle Diocese) and holds a William Leech Research Fellowship at Durham University (based at St John’s). He is a Canon Emeritus of Chelmsford Cathedral. He regularly contributes to diocesan programmes in the UK and has been a co-director of the Edward King Institute for Ministerial Development.
