The Human Face of Church

A Social Psychology and Pastoral Theology Resource for Pioneer and Traditional Ministry

About this book

Until now, Fresh Expressions has been about starting and sustaining mission initiatives among people with little or no church contact. As these projects mature, pastoral problems easily arise - how do you integrate the old with the new? How do you get an established congregation to change it views and practices? How do you cope with conflict? What if newcomers challenge set patterns of church behaviour rather than conform with them?The publication is structured for use for training in local churches, theological colleges and as a research tool in postgraduate study.
