Bishop Peter
Had a meeting with Bishop Peter Price (Bath & Wells) last week. He has been wholly committed to developing small christian communities, what I would call simple churches, within the parish system - though he doesn't limit them to Anglicanism as he has a genuine Kingdom vision. We had a pretty broad ranging conversation which included politics which he obviously feels strongly about. One comment sticks in my mind - about how the politics of fear will eventually clash with the God of 'fear not'.

His small christian communities, based on the south american base ecclesial communities, must engage with Community, Scripture and Reality (surrounding society) to qualify as 'church'.

I enjoyed meeting him and felt a little glimmer of confidence in the C of E return. He has instigated an 8 year process within the diocese aimed at creating healthy christians - healthy churches - healthy communities.
