In Ministry in Three Dimensions, Steven Croft outlines the
challenges - greater geographical and social mobility, and older,
smaller congregations, for example - that today's society presents
to the churches, explaining that models of mission and ministry
which were once perfectly adequate no longer work in this new
situation. The author identifies some of the potentially harmful
ways in which attempts have been made to meet these new challenges,
suggesting the use of secular management models as one such false
trail. Far better and more fruitful is to recover a
biblically-based understanding of ministry. In scripture and
through Church history he explores the dimensions of ministry
indicated by three different Greek words found in the New
Testament: diakonia, presbyteros and episcope, uncovering the rich
tradition surrounding what it means to be an ordained leader in the
Church. Steven Croft draws out insights from which a new, relevant
understanding of ordained ministry can be built across the
denominations, and explores how to put these insights into
practice, suggesting ways in which each minister can balance the
three dimensions in their own setting.

Pilgrim is a major new teaching and discipleship resource from the
Church of England. It will help enquirers and new Christians
explore what it means to travel through life with Jesus Christ. A
Christian course for the twenty-first century, Pilgrim offers an
approach of participation, not persuasion. Enquirers are encouraged
to practice the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and
prayer, exploring key texts that have helped people since the
earliest days of the Christian faith. Believing that the Christian
faith is primarily about relationship, Pilgrim aims to lay a
foundation for a lifetime of learning more about God's love
revealed in Jesus Christ and what it means to be his disciple.
Assuming little or no knowledge of the Christian faith, Pilgrim can
be used at any point on the journey of discipleship and by every
tradition in the Church of England. Pilgrim is made up of two
parts: Follow and Grow. Each consists of four short courses and a
leaders' guide. Follow introduces the Christian faith for complete
beginners, while Grow aims to develop a deeper level of
discipleship in those who have turned to Christ. Each short course
contains six-sessions, supported by online audio-visual resources.
All sessions combine a simple framework prayer, reflection on the
Bible in the lectio divina style, an article by a modern writer,
and time for questions and reflection. The first book in the Follow
Stage, Turning to Christ, explores the questions candidates are
asked when they decide to become followers of Jesus.
Reflections for Daily Prayer has nourished thousands of Christians
for a decade with its inspiring and informed weekday Bible
reflections. Now, in response to demand, Reflections for Sundays
combines material from over the years with new writing to provide
high-quality reflections on the Principal Readings for Sundays and
major Holy Days. Contributors include some of the very best writers
from across the Anglican tradition who have helped to establish it
as one of the leading daily devotional volumes today. For each
Sunday and major Holy Day in Year A, Reflections for Sundays
offers: * full lectionary details for the Principle Service * a
reflection on the Old Testament reading * a reflection on the
Epistle * a reflection on the Gospel It also contains a substantial
introduction to the Gospel of Matthew, written by renowned Bible
teacher Paula Gooder.
