- For established churches needing to adapt to changing times -
Translates learnings from new communities for established
congregations -- a both/and approach - On-the-ground observations
from within Phyllis Tickle's "rummage sale" Using the image of the
traditional practice of "beating the bounds" of the parish, this
book contrasts the desire to mark boundaries with God's call to
explore boundaries in order to open them. Building on visits to
nine Episcopal and Church of England congregations, Spicer explores
how they are opening the boundaries between inherited expressions
of church and the unique contexts in which they find themselves. He
argues that to beat the boundaries around their current expressions
of church, congregations should (1) name a missional identity
common to both their past expressions of congregational life and
the church they hear God calling them to become; (2) identify whom
they're seeking to reach in the community and how they intend to do
so; (3) identify what sort of new church expression God is calling
them to create; (4) empower a missional leader and plan for
governance issues their work may raise; and (5) collaboratively
identify how to define success and how to understand what might be
seen as failure in terms of common church metrics.
