Society in Britain has changed dramatically in the last 30 years, especially in terms of our understanding of community and how we relate to one another. One of the responses of the Church has been to plant new churches and create 'fresh expressions' of church; churches that relate to our changing context. This detailed, practical and well-researched book:

gives an overview of recent developments in church planting
describes varied and exciting 'fresh expressions' of church
offers practical help and advice
looks candidly at where lessons can be learned
proposes a framework and methodology for good, effective church planting
includes recommendations to make possible the visions of a vibrant future Church
Each chapter has a set of questions and challenges to help local parish churches engage with the issues.

With a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, Mission-Shaped Church is a crucial tool for all who care about God's mission today.

A follow-up report to Breaking New Ground.
