The Human Face of Church

Download or read book The Human Face of Church written by Sara Savage and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
