On Earth as in Heaven

this is a place dedicated to musings about the work of God in fulfilling the prayer that things may be 'on earth as in heaven'. it is about 'mission' as part of God's mission to bring this about. it is about how that is coming to birth in a post Christendom world and how faith is expresssed and lived out in this new world and it's many cultures.

About Me

My photo
Steve
Sutton Coldfield, W Midlands, United Kingdom
i work freelance as a researcher in religion culture church planting and mission as well as being a part-time tutor for an Anglican mission agency called the Church Army. my research is about enabling the church to communicate effectively with the increasing numbers who have no church background. this is about what is traditionally called evangelism, but my role is about thinking beyond such traditions! indeed exploring evangelism as a journey of discovery between seekers accross many faiths and spiritual traditions to which i bring my own christian tradition, and not about bible bashing, street preaching or a door to door selling approach. i am married to a church of england priest who works in St Albans, which is why i live here even though my my Church Army office is in Sheffield.
