About this title

Review

'We live in a turbulent time of change. Many, beyond the borders of church, are desperate for some sense of spiritual reality. 'Fresh expressions' of church are the green shoots of the future.' (Revd Tom Stuckey, President of the Methodist Conference 2005/06)

'I am colossally encouraged by the amount of activity that there seems to be around the church at the moment. There's already a huge amount going on, our job is to join in, to give it the nourishment is needs so that it will grow in the right way. I hope you will give thanks to God and get involved!' (Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury.)
