There’s lots of reading going on at my place at present .. both on-line and in traditional “Gutenberg” form. Perhaps you’d like to join me in reading some of this material for yourself?
One book I am really enjoying is “Liquid Church” by Pete Ward. It really resonates. He’s not saying too much that’s new to those of us on the journey of rethinking church life, but the way he presents his premise is extremely thought provoking. Kind of like looking at the same diamond from a different facet. Excellent stuff.
Look at the links at the side of the page and choose either “Books of Interest” or “Sites of Interest”. All the details about “Liquid Church” and so much more can be found there. I’d also urge you to visit www.sacredspace.ie It’ll bless your socks off!
Enjoy the adventure of discovery!
