The faith of the Church, although unchanging, must be told afresh for each new generation. In this volume, Michael Perham, Bishop of Gloucester, does exactly that by exploring key Christian beliefs. His approach is readable and accessible yet with the depth of his pastoral experience and theological insight. This is a book that, whilst encouraging and affirming, offers no easy solutions but takes us on a shared faith journey that is firmly rooted in the real world.

As the Church of Scotland approaches its sixth year as a partner in Fresh Expressions, Seeing Afresh tells the story of eight very different church communities that have emerged and asks what can be learned from them and how their examples can inspire other churches to engage more imaginatively in mission. The stories featured include fresh expressions of church working with: •marginalised youth in the heart of a city •millennials and homeless in a busy commercial centre •a scattered rural community •all-ages on an island community •those living in sheltered accommodation •active, retired and socially minded, but sceptical about faith •online communities The opportunities and the challenges of creating and sustaining different kinds of church are treated with realism and many essential insights on motivation, vision, understanding the context, first steps, pioneer leadership, nurturing disciples and more are discovered and shared.
