LARGEST EVER FUTURE CHURCH CONFERENCE GATHERS

Nearly one hundred Christians from across Britain and Ireland have been gathering today in Hertfordshire to look at the future of the church in these islands – and to find out how the concern to develop ‘fresh expressions’ of Christian community can be sustained by every-day spirituality.

The ‘Future Church’ conference is the fourth in an annual series organised by Building Bridges of Hope. BBH is an ecumenical project supported by the Churches’ Commission on Mission, part of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland.

With nearly 100 people attending, it is the largest FC event so far.

BBH brings together a range of innovative church projects, old and new, from a wide variety of Christian traditions – evangelical, Catholic, Anglican, Pentecostal and Free Church.

The aim is to share ideas about how Christian witness can be developed in communities where many have lost touch with the Christian faith, or have little understanding of it.

A major feature of Building Bridges of Hope is its pioneering work in the area of ‘mission accompaniment’ – the idea that a skilled and concerned outsider bringing a wide range of experience can help a church or group of churches to develop and implement their vision for the future.
