The Fire Still Burns explores a variety of themes relating to
ministry particularly in the United Reformed Church but with
broader application across the Reformed tradition. Rooted in
personal experience, it offers seven separate but related personal,
historical and theological reflections, with description, analysis
and discussion, seeking to offer an honest and realistic appraisal
of the current situation but also encouragement and hope on the
basis of faith and experience. Each reflection concludes with
questions for individual further reflection or discussion in groups
and there are occasional interludes of poetry and two brief
discussions of pieces of art. There are concluding thoughts before
the pandemic and a postscript looking beyond it. There is also an
extensive bibliography and list of online resources. The
reflections began on sabbatical leave in Westminster College,
Cambridge, a Resource Centre for Learning of the United Reformed
Church, in the Michaelmas term October - December 2019. They have
been edited, developed and extended to include detailed discussion
on ministry through the Covid-19 pandemic. They are now offered
exploring where the call of God is now on the continuing journey of
the Christian Church through times of challenge and opportunity.
The objectives are: * Reflection on more than 35 years of personal
experience of ministry in the United Reformed Church * Exploration
more broadly of the Ministry of the Word and Sacraments in the
United Reformed Church, with reference to theologians, Reports to
General Assembly, and recent conversations * Discussion of response
to current issues including diminishing resources and numerical
decline, new opportunities and insights including pioneer ministry,
and the Covid-19 pandemic
