WHY DO PEOPLE STAY?
Whereas some historic churches are finding it difficult to adapt their institutions to the rapid change of modern British life, Sanctus1 in Manchester says that what holds people together in its ‘fresh expression’ of church is an emphasis on relationships rather than structures. It is rooted in traditional Christian faith, but in a bold and experimental way. Its values are community, inclusivity, creativity and sacred space. These are the things which generate energy and dynamism, says Manchester city centre missioner Ben Edson, who is supported by the Church Amy and the local Anglican diocese.
