Product Description
In this issue George reviews the phenomenon of network churches. These are churches that serve networks of people, rather than parishes, districts or geographical areas.
In 2004, network churches were identified as a hugely important type of fresh expression of church to respond to changing patterns in our society. A decade has now passed since the first Anglican network churches began. How have they fared? Why have they not thrived and multiplied as was hoped? What difficulties have they encountered?
George revisits some network churches that have been in existence for six years or more, and returns with a number of sobering thoughts and observations. There is still a need for network churches, but what are the lessons that can be learned from the experience of these early examples?
It seems that the world of the network is not going away. Like mountains which are climbed because they are there, none of the difficulties we have seen are reasons for avoiding the task. Perhaps this issue lays out some of the preparation and kit that will be needed.
