In 2004 Mission-shaped Church presented a challenge to church leaders. Now Mission-Shaped Questions addresses the big theological and practical issues that have arisen.

Mission-shaped Questions tackles questions such as:

* What exactly is church?
    * Can we develop churches that can transform culture?
    * Can we be mission-shaped and kingdom-focused too?

The contributors are Loveday Alexander, Martyn Atkins, Lynda Barley, Steven Croft, Tim Dakin, John Drane, James D.G. Dunn, John M. Hull, Alison Morgan, Angela Tilby, Graham Tomlin, Lindsay Urwin, David Wilkinson and Martin Warner.

What others say about Mission-shaped Questions

'If we are to grow and mature as a mixed economy Church, there are hard questions to be asked and answered. We need first-class thinking to back up and support all that is happening at local level. I hope this collection will get the attention it richly deserves.'  Archbishop Rowan Williams

'I hope Mission-shaped Questions will help capture the imagination of those who think that the Fresh Expressions movement sits lightly to theology.' Archbishop John Sentamu

'At last! A book on mission which doesn't duck questions or offer simplistic answers.' Vivienne Faull, Dean of Leicester

'Exciting, challenging, difficult, hopeful - this book marks a decisive shift. Mission is the new culture and the old questions about church now have a vital currency.' Simon Downham, Vicar/Senior Pastor, St Paul's Church, Hammersmith

'Wise, big picture stuff, rooted in real life.' Lucy Moore, Associate Missioner for Fresh Expressions and part of the leadership team of Messy Church
