Simple, Generous, Open: Mission and renewal in the progressive church - Paperback

by Charlotte Gale (Author)

This captivating narrative tells the remarkable journey of how a bold idea for a new church community, deeply rooted in the Anglican tradition, blossomed into a vibrant, self-sustaining congregation and shop. Seven years on, it continues to thrive, offering resources and inspiration to churches across the UK and beyond. Written in an accessible, honest, and often humorous style, Simple, Generous, Open tackles important themes such as pioneering mission, church planting, renewal, sustainability, and inclusion - all set against the backdrop of growing concerns about church decline and financial challenges. The story of St. Clare's offers a hopeful and practical example for churches striving to remain true to their Anglican heritage while adapting to contemporary needs.
