Reproducing Churches. This item is unavailable.Reproducing Churches

In an original and exciting theological move, senior authority on fresh expressions of Church and church planting, Canon Dr George Lings, suggests that we look at Church differently. Based on extensive research, Lings argues that the Church has a calling and the capacity to reproduce which is inherent in what Church is, rather than as its function. The Church reproduces, albeit nonidentically, because it is the Church; that’s how it fulfils its mission. This seminal and inspiring work will inform and re-energise Church leaders for the task in hand in this generation and beyond.

Canon Dr George Lings is Director of the Church Army's Research Unit, Sheffield and Visiting Fellow of St John's College, Durham. He has written Mission-shaped Church as well as over 50 booklets in the Encounters on the Edge series on the evolving theory and practice of bringing to birth fresh expressions of Church.
