Product Description
The Mission-shaped Church report claimed that network is no longer an addition to the geographical world of parochial life but is already the dominant social reality to which expressions of church need to be adjusted. It argued that church must always be shaped by mission and cited examples of churches already planted specifically to reach networks of people rather than neighbourhoods of people in response.
This, the second Encounters on the Edge issue on network-focused church planting, looks at diocesan-led planting. The painful lessons learnt from the earliest examples of network churches should be highlighted for those embarking on future ventures of this type. Do the mission resources match the mission task? What happens to mission beyond fringe members when you have no territory to fall back on? How can a young church cope with the pressure of a heavy culture of inspection by the wider church? This issue is essential reading for anyone tasked with planting such a church.
