The Church of England is its parishes-for clergy & lay people alike, Christianity is lived out in the context of a parish with a community, congregation, building and a priest. This immensely useful resource reflects on many aspects of parish ministry: pastoral care, liturgy, art and the sacred space, spirituality, youth, regeneration, and the multicultural parish, and more. A vital guide for students, clergy and lay church leaders, it was conceived in response to 'Anglicanism: the answer to Modernity'(Continuum), a book by academics giving an ivory-tower view. This is intended as a real help for the real work of running a parish and to enable theological reflection at local level.

Written from the perspective of urban ministry (Woolwich, London), this book may seem to have little to offer the rural clergy – except to emphasise the gulf between urban and rural. Don’t dismiss it! The collective wisdom here is relevant in different ways to all clergy and some chapters are hugely encouraging: ‘Purposefully Going: The Parish as a community in Mission’ and ‘Travelling Towards Faith: Evangelism in the Parish’ would be manna to clergy allergic to the ‘E’ word. The glossary would be a great gift in itself to those needing a clear understanding of church jargon.
