 | Church attendance statistics are misleading
|
| Suburban models of success are illusory - even in suburbia!
|
| Inherited patterns of church life, gathered or parochial,
are no longer appropriate
|
| A church that is only used for Sunday services is redundant
|
| In an urban society the Church has ‘been here before’ -
but we can never mimic the past
|
| When the good ship ‘Christendom’ has sunk and the
future is uncertain,
people need lifeboats not a passenger liner
|
| Our capacity to make connections is through God's
energising, not our achievement |
