[70.2] NEW 'MISSION ACCOMPANIMENT' BOOKLET PUBLISHED

Building Bridges of Hope is delighted to anounce the publication of a ew resource booklet, Mission Accompaniment, written by Philip Walker (Grove Booklets, £2.75, ISSN 1367-0840). The booklet is available post-free from the Grove office on 01223 464748, or email sales@grovebooks.co.uk. It will be lauched at the forthcoming Assembly of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, at Swanwick, Derbyshire, on Wednesday 23 February 2005.

The booklet is an ideal introduction to the subject, and goes well together with the new Diploma in Mission Accompaniment developed by Cliff College and Building Bridges of Hope / CCOM / CTBI. It begins in September 2005.

Mission accompaniment is a practical way of encouraging churches in effective mission through the accompnaiment of someone who is invited in not as an expert but as a fellow-traveller. It is rooted in prayer, listening, theological vision, a varied range of skills, and long-term commitment to change and witness.
