Fresh and Re:Fresh is…
Fresh and Re:Fresh is the story of twelve Canadian church planters from Vancouver to Montreal. In their own words they describe the challenges of cultivating new faith communities in Canadian soil. As church planters and urban and suburban missionaries, they reflect on the context of pluralism, the relation of church and kingdom, describe the spiritual traditions and practices they embrace, the networks that support them, and the challenges of missional engagement in their communities.
Fresh and Re:Fresh also engages the mentors of church planters. These men and women reflect on the changing cultural landscape, and describe the new challenges faced by church planters as they seed kingdom outposts. They also consider the specific skills needed by mentors and spiritual friends of church planters in the unique soil of post-Christendom Canada.
Finally, Fresh and Re:Fresh tells the stories of some Canadian churches in transition. Established communities of faith face particular challenges as they attempt to move attractional to incarnational, from an isolated and inward stance to neighborhood and community engagement for the purpose of transformation.
