A Church Shaped for Mission

The report of the formal conversations between the Church of England and the Methodist Church of Great Britain was published in December 2001. For most local church people, the questions will be: How will these discussions and the proposed covenant affect us? How do they affect what we think about each other in our different churches? How might they change the way we relate to one another? How might they increase what we are allowed to do together locally? This book sets out to translate the key ideas from the report so that Christ's disciples locally - from any denomination - can begin to explore the implications. In six sessions with an optional full-day workshop, members of local congregations can look with a new perspective on their own histories, their contexts, their place within God's mission and the contribution they can make to the quest for full visible unity among the differnet Christian traditions.
