Faith in the Countryside - Transforming Communities
Rural Christians live at a rare moment of both challenge and opportunity. Should we reject, adapt or accept that rural Britain has been experiencing a quiet and largely undetected revolution? Churches find themselves in uncertain territory as they have to grapple with many different issues in a short period of time.
The last major report on what is happening to the church in the countryside was produced by the Church of England more than 20 years ago. How have Anglican and Free churches been coping?
As a result of extensive travel and visits to all regions of the United Kingdom, Declan Flanagan has had the opportunity to visit rural churches from all the main denominational groupings. You will find helpful insights, inspiring stories and exercises that your church may use in assessing the present and preparing for the future.
