What others say about Mission-shaped Questions

'If we are to grow and mature as a mixed economy Church, there are hard questions to be asked and answered. We need first-class thinking to back up and support all that is happening at local level. I hope this collection will get the attention it richly deserves.'  Archbishop Rowan Williams

'I hope Mission-shaped Questions will help capture the imagination of those who think that the Fresh Expressions movement sits lightly to theology.' Archbishop John Sentamu

'At last! A book on mission which doesn't duck questions or offer simplistic answers.' Vivienne Faull, Dean of Leicester

'Exciting, challenging, difficult, hopeful - this book marks a decisive shift. Mission is the new culture and the old questions about church now have a vital currency.' Simon Downham, Vicar/Senior Pastor, St Paul's Church, Hammersmith

'Wise, big picture stuff, rooted in real life.' Lucy Moore, Associate Missioner for Fresh Expressions and part of the leadership team of Messy Church
