Can the Church of England survive the 21st century? What needs to
change and what remains? How does the Church deal with contemporary
challenges and how are these related to the situation it faced in
1966? This book is an evaluation of Bishop Ronald Williams' 1966
book What's Right with the Church of England identifying the issues
of that time with reference to the issues still facing the Church
of England today. These include perception and position, resources
and finance, ethics, ecumenism, a liberal church in a liberal
society, ministry for today, marketing, and a contemporary
parochial ecclesiology. Many of the issues from 1966 have not
changed but the context is significantly different requiring
different responses.
The two key questions often levelled at fresh expressions are 'What
is Church?' and 'How on earth can a fresh expression be evaluated?'
In "Out of Nothing", Andrew Dunlop offers an account of his journey
in starting a fresh expression, and along the way proposes an
alternative theological foundation for evaluation - the
Cross-Shaped approach. Dunlop proposes a theological foundation
which goes to the heart of God's action in the world. Both
accessible and critically engaged, the book will provide an
important resource for both pioneers and for those studying pioneer
ministry.
