Christian Mission in 21st Century Britain - has it had its day? The Revd Canon Richard Bartlett

Renew The Mind; Transform Your Life

The Revd Canon Richard Bartlett is Vicar of the West Purbeck Benefice, and Rural Dean of Purbeck. (That doesn't mean he drives a custom-Landrover with wide wheels, nor that he endorses Barbour wellies.)
Key Quotes:
John V Taylor
"The chief actor in the historic mission of the Christian church is the Holy Spirit. This fact, so patent to Christians in the first century, is largely forgotten in our own. So we have lost our nerve and our sense of direction and have turned the divine initiative into a human enterprise.

(John V Taylor, The Go-Between God p3) "
And
Jurgen Moltman
“It is not the church that has a mission of salvation to fulfil in the world; it is the mission of the Son and the Spirit through the Father that includes the church, creating a church as it goes on its way.”
