First published in 1974, Investigating Drama offers a holistic understanding of drama. An understanding of drama requires far more thana study, however thorough, of plays and playwright, stagecraft and techniques, for drama must always be seen in the context of the theatre at work. A descriptive coverage of the basic elements of drama is accordingly only half the purpose of this book, and the authors hope that their plea in the title for an 'investigation' will be taken literally. To allow maximum flexibility the book is divided into independent 'units', which can be followed through as a complete drama course, or taken individually by those wishing to concentrate on selective areas. All aspects of theatre are covered and there is ample opportunity for practical work in improvisation. This book will be of interest to students of literature and drama.

This five-part group study booklet is designed to encourage and equip local church communities who are contemplating setting up a pioneering church community, but are unsure how to get going or what will be involved. It opens up the wise insights and practical know-how of Dave Male's book 'How to Pioneer' to the wider church, introducing the basics of pioneer ministry to PCCs and congregations while encouraging their supportive participation. The booklet consists of five group sessions based on chapters of the original book: 1. You can do this 2. Focusing on your mission 3. Adapting to your context 4. Creating Jesus-centred communities 5. Enabling disciples of Jesus All pioneer enterprises depend on the active support of the home church team. This booklet will help generate essential backing for local mission projects.

Small new Christian communities created by pioneer ministers, both lay and ordained, are popping up everywhere - on housing estates, in community centres, schools, cafes, among different age groups and in numerous other contexts beyond the local church. This practical book is for all who are engaged in this form of ministry and it begins by identifying some basic principles from a wide variety of creative examples of pioneer ministry. Illustrated with actual examples throughout, it explores * how to 'listen' to the physical, social and spiritual environment of a local context * how to discern a community's needs and the appropriate missional response * how to build a creative team * the art of the start - how to begin well * how to build relationships and create community by acts of authentic love * how to become and stay Jesus-centred * how to live and tell the gospel in meaningful ways * how to grow disciples * how to stay fresh (and avoid rotas!)
