'Back to Church' Sunday

It is 'Back to Church' Sunday next week.

The training, so says the You tube video, is this:

"Would you like to come to church with me?"

Simple and not very complicated. Do ask someone and all welcome at HT.

Ruth Gledhill tells me that one Bishop thinks the C of E should be more like Aldi and less like M&S. As ever, the C of E assumes we live in Christendom, which I am not sure we do, but that is a debate for another day. Here is Mike Breem to explain what I mean. To be missional, the church must go to the world, not assume it is the job of the world to come to the church.

A Vicar pal has just been to the missional communities conference as St Thomas Crooks. They have launched 8 since he was last there in April and are doing mission and teaching others to do mission too. A great place of passion and the gospel. They have a Visitors' weeks which I may check out.

Reading the Shaping of things to come is a good place to start on all this.

Here's the film:
