emerging church, emergent, simple church, house church, home church.Friday, June 24
lambeth palace Lots to report from the last few days. Firstly Together in Mission relaunched themselves last Monday at a gathering of key church leaders at Lambeth Palace. As well as covering the extensive activities it is involved with it was also an opportunity to set the scene for the forthcoming National Church Planting Congress Mission 21 next March. ![]() Bishop Graham Cray introduced the day with a look back at the Mission Shaped Church report which he chaired, Steve Croft then picked up the story with Fresh Expressions, then TiM director Martin Robinson gave a little history before setting the current scene. He spoke about this 'imbetween the paradigms' moment we are currently in and that the Congress would be an opportunity to feel our way forward towards the new. Joel Edwards then gave us some up to date info on the Forum for Change a joint initiative between EA, TiM and various other national organisations. After lunch I then gave a report on the Research project in order to inform people what it was all about and ask for their help. Feed back was generally positive with some constructive criticism too. Any further thoughts from those who were there would also be helpful (use the comments button below or email me). For more posts check out the Archives or for a specific topic use site search tool. |
The aim of this site is to connect, report and resource these new groups.
