This book provides insights for the spiritual journey through a profound psychological engagement with the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis. Like Joseph, every human being faces problems in life - whether threats to identity, relationship breakdown, depression, bereavement, stress, personal failure or other forms of suffering. How we negotiate these crises, and what resources we find to cope with them, can shape the way we grow as Christians. In line with the story of Joseph, the chapters in this book are ultimately about personal transformation - how we can make something out of the life that has been given us. Over time, we may find that we have been co-creators within a larger story.
'...an excellent project and much needed. It will take thinking on pioneer ministry beyond how to get started and grapple with the issues of ongoing care of communities, conflict and discipleship.' Revd Dr Steve Croft, Archbishop's Missioner Until now, Fresh Expressions has been about starting and sustaining mission initiatives among people with little or no church contact. As these projects mature, pastoral problems easily arise - how do you integrate the old with the new? How do you get an established congregation to change it views and practices? How do you cope with conflict? What if newcomers challenge set patterns of church behaviour rather than conform with them? The publication is structured for use for training in local churches, theological colleges and as a research tool in postgraduate study.
For Generation Y, born after 1982, Margaret Thatcher is a piece of social history, relationships happen over the internet and music marks their territory. How does this generation think about the world? What does their spirituality look like? And what implications does this have for the Church? Based on original research, Making Sense of Generation Y explores how young people aged 15-25 draw on popular culture to shape their worldview and spirituality. The results of this research suggest that many of the Church's previous assumptions about this generation have been wrong. How can the Church begin to reconnect with this generation? Making Sense of Generation Y grapples with this challenging question and suggests ways forward. This title is essential reading for clergy, youth workers and all those wishing to engage with young people.
