Beschreibung:
'...an excellent project and much needed. It will take thinking on pioneer ministry beyond how to get started and grapple with the issues of ongoing care of communities, conflict and discipleship.' Revd Dr Steve Croft, Archbishop's Missioner
Until now, Fresh Expressions has been about starting and sustaining mission initiatives among people with little or no church contact. As these projects mature, pastoral problems easily arise - how do you integrate the old with the new? How do you get an established congregation to change it views and practices? How do you cope with conflict? What if newcomers challenge set patterns of church behaviour rather than conform with them? The publication is structured for use for training in local churches, theological colleges and as a research tool in postgraduate study.

A practical text and workbook which draws on the behavioural theory and organisational studies to train and equip local church leaders and congregations not only to manage change but to grow through it.
