Pioneer Conference April 6-8, 2009

I am really excited about this conference in Cambridge April 6-8th 2009. Its the first time a conference has been organised to bring all pionners together in the UK. This includes pioneers in training and those who are now pioneering.Its not only limited to Anglicans. Do think about coming. I have co sponsors in Fresh Expressions and Church Army.

I hope above all this will be a meeting place for pioneers to talk, learn, pray and discuss. We already have a number of exciting people who will be present to talk with and to us including Mark Russell,CEO of Church Army, Steve Barber who heads up church planting for Vineyard Churches and Mike Moynagh from Fresh Expressions.

Check out the publicity and do come if you possibly can.We hope this be will be the first of an annual gathering which will become something special.Download Breakout

Church Unplugged

This book gives an essential framework for creating church in the twenty-first century. It is a call to think and work outside the box of recent church in bold and risk-taking ways. Through telling the story of one of the first 'fresh expressions of church' in England, the Net in Huddersfield, this book examines the key issues related to a future of mission, evangelism, church and community. It is an honest account which examines not just the ups but also the downs and clearly shows what the church learnt about community and how being community is never easy. 'Practical, personal and honest. The story of The Net is told to encourage others to have a go. If you're thinking about it, read this book.'

James Lawrence , Director, CPAS Arrow Leadership Programme
Evaluating Fresh Expressions

This book consists of 12 essays by a variety of writers evaluating the contemporary fresh expressions movement. The questions they pose are both theological and practical while the contributors are both positive and critical of what is happening. Dave Male has written one of the chapters ,'Who are fresh expressions really for? Do they really reach the unchurched?' In it he explores whether what is being created are more like fresh expressions of worship for disgruntled Christians rather than new forms of Christian communities expressly designed to connect with unchurched people.
