The Church has a Past - has it got a Future?

By Rev Andy Roland

The book is packed full of history and enormous challenges.

It is an adventurous journey through the history of the Church and asks important questions for its future.

A well-crafted and fascinating pilgrimage, stopping often to be refreshed and challenged.

Andy Roland considers three fundamental questions:

Where were we? Where are we? Where could we be?

CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS

During 2000 years of Christianity, what questions arose from society to which the Church could give a response?

(spoiler alert - the questions kept changing)

NEW WORLD/NEW CONSCIOUSNESS

All major changes and developments since 2000 are described: from liberalism to autocracy, from graphene to CRISPR, from sexualities to AI, from mindfulness to food banks.

BEING CREDIBLE IN THE POST-MODERN WORLD

Has the Church got a future in the public square?

Only by reformulating its understanding of its sacred cows, such as the Bible, other faiths, sin and death.
