There is a lively debate about the mission of the local church and an interest in doing new things or doing things differently. However, when church leaders start to work out the implications of change, they immediately come across real issues such as the time, money and buildings needed and how to make decisions that will change things, yet keep most people on board. "Resourcing Mission" offers the missing link between missiological thinking and the practical theological thinking about the task of mobilising local churches. Helen Cameron discusses questions such as the use of available time and money, different models of income, different models of leadership, the use of buildings, changing patterns of risk and regulation and approaches to decision making. "Resourcing Mission" shows how practical theology and mission and ministry need to work together and draw on each other's resources to strengthen the work of the church.

Helen is a practical theologian with a mission heart. What a combination you might say. In this book, written primarily for the local church, she provides material which a congregation can use in a mission review process. Helen offers something new in this field. Many of us have written about churches and growth (I wrote Grove's Developing a Strategy for Mission) but here theology and strategy are mixed together. Others have looked at church history and the changing church but Helen brings biblical passages to bear on local mission today. With real examples of churches using a model called the 'Pastoral Cycle' (Experience, Exploration, Reflection, Planning p9), here we see how theology interplays with praxis. Exploring money, buildings, partnership, decision making, etc here is a framework for local groups to think theologically and discover resources and insights they might not have thought they had.
