| Description: | Select Guide Rating An in-depth exploration of the key aspects, challenges and opportunities of mission in a rural church. Resourcing Rural Ministry offers an in-depth exploration of the key aspects, challenges and opportunities of mission in a rural church. Relevant for ordained and lay leaders alike, the book covers subjects ranging from encouraging evangelism in a multi-church group to making best use of church buildings. Containing a wealth of real-life case studies and suggestions for follow-up, this ecumenical publication draws on the expertise and resources of the Arthur Rank Centre (ARC), which has served the spiritual and practical needs of the rural Christian community for over 40 years. This book contributes to ARC’s Germinate programme of training, development and support for rural multi-church groups of all denominations. Resourcing Rural Ministry was first developed by Simon Martin as Training and Resources Officer at the ARC. Additional chapters have been contributed by the Revd Caroline Hewlett, Rona Orme and Becky Payne and the final text has been prepared and edited by Jill Hopkinson. ''This book is packed with helpful resources and background theology that will aid the rural church to be a vibrant and relevant presence in today’s society.'' Revd Peter Ball, Mission and Training Officer, Eastern Synod of the URC ''Read these contributions and you’ll be excited by a wealth of experience, insight and resource.'' Rt Revd James Bell, Bishop of Ripon |
