Description
This report from the Faith and Order Commission explores the idea of 'witness' in the life of the church. It is intended as a theological resource to encourage Christians to think of themselves as witnesses, ready to speak of what they have seen and heard, but also to listen with humility.
With practical case studies from church communities around England, it offers examples to inspire readers to go further, imagining how they and their churches might witness more richly, as well as put their dreams into action.
Designed for churches and small groups to study together, it also includes reflections on the case studies and questions to help readers put their thinking into practice.
