Publisher's Description

Has the Church lost sight of her original vocation of living out her mission by serving the world? There is a prevailing ecclesiology of fatalism which suggests that it has, and that there is nothing to do be done about. This book argues however, that the church still has a role in bearing witness fruitfully and creatively even within a context of crisis. Leading thinkers offer theoretical, contextual and practical responses to encourage a renewed love for the church and renewed energy to bear witness appropriately and creatively.

Chapters include:
Richard Bauckham - on New Testament perspectives on a church in crisis
Alister McGrath - challenging the narrative of decline
Rev Dr Carlton Turner - on BAME Presence and the Witness of Diversity and Inclusion
Dr Susie Snyder - on attending to those on the margins

Editorial Reviews

'If you are concerned about what future there is for the Church of England, and puzzled by the words we are asked to use to describe it, this book will help you. A strong and necessary reminder that there is a theological vocabulary for our hope.'
