Many churches are excited about the ideas in Mission-shaped Church, but are unsure of how to apply these ideas to their own contexts. This 16 page, accessible booklet introduces the reader to the essential message of Mission-shaped Church. Ideal for using with PCCs, deanery synods and house groups, it outlines how churches and groups can respond practically and creatively and move in fresh directions.

'God calls us to help people in every place and culture respond to the love and grace in his Son, Jesus Christ.  To do that well in our time we need to grow many different fresh expressions of church life within and alongside our traditional parish churches:  a mixed economy  I hope that every Church Council and home group in the land will engage creatively with this material and take action as a result.'  Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
