Testing Fresh Expressions investigates whether fresh expressions of
church really do what is claimed for them by the fresh expressions
movement and, in particular, whether their unique approach helps to
reverse trends of decline experienced by traditional churches. Part
1 examines those claims and untangles their sociological and
theological assumptions. From a careful study of factors underlying
attendance decline and growth, Part 2 argues that long-term decline
can be resisted only if churches are better able to attract
children, the non-churched or both. Part 3 tests the comparative
ability of a group of growing parish churches and a group of fresh
expressions to resist trends of decline and discovers some
intriguing social dynamics common to both groups. Part 4 argues
that fresh expressions do not fulfil the unique role often claimed
for them but that they do have the capacity to help reinvigorate
the whole church.
