How can we reach the UK?

In March 2003, after a major research project in association with the Evangelical Alliance, the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity published a report entitled 'Imagine How We Can Reach the UK'. The report concluded: "The reason the UK church is not effective in mission is because we are not making disciples who can live well for Christ in today's culture and engage compellingly with the people they meet ... Jesus has a 'train and release' strategy, while overall we have a 'convert and retain' strategy."
Although there are many evangelistic resources currently available, many Christians do not know how to live out their faith, due to "the pervasive belief that some things are important to God - such as church, prayer meetings, social action, Alpha - but that other human activities are at best neutral - work, school, college, sports, the arts, leisure, rest, sleep."

"Heretical" church structures?

The theology that matters is not the theology we profess, but the theology we practise. As John Stott says: "Our static, inflexible, self-centred structures are 'heretical structures' because they embody a heretical doctrine of the church." If "our structure has become an end in itself, not a means of saving the world" it is "a heretical structure". John Stott, The Living Church (IVP, 2007), p.58
