Age 2011

The local goes global

• The internet-global communication in place of print

• No regulation of access or content (with some censorship)

• Many empowered but some have no access

• Media a global phenomenon

• Everywhere is in your living room

• You may know more about what is happening in Africa than at the end of your street

• Our choices become everyone’s business – global tensions in the church

Post- Secularism?• Post-modernity - multi-faith in a post-secular age

• Post-modern move from truth as fact to truth as experience - From universal truth to true for me may be different to true for you.

• Rejection of objectivity for subjectivity

• Personal belief re-enters the public square

• Any and every belief …. All are equally unprovable

• All of this much to the annoyance of Richard Dawkins…….

• and Christians?

• Religion once more on the agenda but any religion with no way back to Christendom …..indeed is Christianity disadvantaged compared to the alternatives?

The New Tribes of Britain

• The Postmodern cultural elite• Advertising, gaming, social networking, reality TV, theoretical physics,

film making, popular music, multi-culturalism

• The New Spiritualities• From Pagan roots – ecology, spirits in nature, communal ritual,

feminine deity. To New Age roots – eastern mysticism, personal growth and well being, pic ‘n’ mix from all religions

• Life to the Max• Clubbing, recreational drugs, binge drinking, foreign travel, the latest

gadgets, serial monogamy, cosmetic surgery, celebrity status, spending the children’s inheritance

12/10/2015

• Middle Britain• Family and friends, working parents raising families, tuition fees, fear for the

future generations, keeping up with the joneses

• The single person household• product of falling birth rates and family breakdowns, need for community and

identity, can be part of any other group

• Cultural sub-groups• Ethnic groups from outside Britain, youth sub cultures

• The under-class• Desperate poor, chronically sick or disabled, addicts, sex workers, petty

criminals, those in the care system. Sold visions they can’t aspire to, lack of hope, a culture of getting by, for some pride in small things and fierce loyalty to the culture


• Reasserting British identity• Cut immigration, minorities should adopt British values and

culture, reasserting the countries Christian tradition, buy British

• Religious traditionalists • Society to be run on religious values, sacred texts as source of

truth, public marking of religious identity, traditional views on family, gender and sexuality

• The New Atheists• Science and reason the source of truth, society to be run on

secular values, religion not only wrong but dangerous, post-modernism and New Spirituality as bad as religion, academics and high culture, Religious high art admired

Christendom Bereavement• Shock

• How could this happen? Paralysis, going through the motions

• Denial• Britain is still a Christian country, honest. Revival is round the corner. People will

come back if we just wait.

• Anger• Against secularists, against Christians who have ‘betrayed us’, against failures of

church and its leadership

• Bargaining• If only we pray hard enough, this is the programme that will turn it all around

• Grief• How can we sing the lord’s song in this foreign land? All that has been achieved

fading, nostalgia for Christendom as something lost

• acceptance

Mission-Shaped Reader

Reader: a changing ministry?

Reader – the new vision from Church House

Ministry Council

Deepening the engagement of lay members:

FORMING AND EQUIPPING THE PEOPLE OF GOD

FOR MINISTRY AND MISSION


Purpose and vision

The purpose of this document is to encourage and affirm the flourishing of lay ministries among the

people of God. The vision is that of a rich and colourful tapestry of gifts and service that the people

of God bring to the mission and ministry of the church. They offer guidelines to enable the church

to discern the gifts and service that the people of God bring to the ministry and mission of the

church to the world, and to suggest how these might be grown and developed for the furthering of

the kingdom of God.

The ‘core’ guidelines outline the family likeness that is likely to characterise all lay ministries, while

additional guidelines point to distinctive aspects of more specialist ministries such as youth

ministry, evangelism, pioneer ministry, Reader ministry and so on.

12/10/2015

13


Additional Guidelines for Readers The nature of Reader ministry is in flux. Many Readers have been equipped for ministries that include preaching, teaching, leading worship, taking funerals and exercising pastoral care. In some cases this has resulted in a loss of focus on mission and ministry outside the church and in an unhelpful clericalisation of the role. The Ministry Council’s priorities recognise the need for a shift:

Traditional forms of lay ministry such as Readers need a transforming change of direction towards the teaching of faith both in catechetical work and apologetics.1

The following draft selection and formation criteria attempt to embody this shift.

Candidates who discern their vocation to be that of licensed lay ministry as a Reader will fulfil the following criteria in addition to the guidelines described above. Please note: the dispositions, where relevant, have been repeated in order to give better sense to the guidelines.

Readers in mission?

• Readers are far more ‘in the world’ than clergy

• Readers know far more non-Christians

• Readers who are not taken up with running services would be free to run mission

Double listening – a key idea

Two ears one mouth

Use accordingly in mission

Failure to enter the other persons world leaves us like the tourists who keep speaking louder in their own language

To the Mission Context

To the essence of the

Christian Inheritance

Crossing culture – Acts of the Apostles• In Jerusalem

• The Pentecost Sermon to Jews Acts 2

• The Jerusalem church Acts 4

• The Hellenists – fresh insight & Persecution

• In Judea and Samaria

• The dispersal of the Hellenists

• Philip – the Samaritans & Ethiopian Eunuch Acts 8

• To the ends of the earth

• Peter and Cornelius Acts 10

• The Church in Antioch Acts 11

• The Gentile mission from Antioch

12/10/2015

14

Paul does ‘double-listening’?

• Acts 14 – Lystra• After healing a crippled man the crowd think Paul and Barnabas

are Hermes and Zeus.• Paul reasons from nature not scripture to explain his faith….and

struggles to communicate

• Acts 17 – Athens• Paul goes round the temples learning about Greek belief – we see

the results in his address to the Areopagus.• He debates with the philosophers in the market place….and

struggles to communicate – they call him a ‘spermalgos’ –someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about!

The two Pauline sermons

• Jesus is the expected messiah who will fulfil the prophets and law

• He was killed as a sacrifice but rose

• He has been appointed judge and we must now change the directions of our lives

• We are all searchers after God

• The God of the universe doesn’t live in temples

• That God has set a day to judge the nations so we must now change the directions of our lives

• The judge will be Jesus who was raised from the dead

Jews …….and…….Greeks?

Mission: shift to Christendom• Early Church incarnate in local culture

• Greek Church - Paul uses poetry to Zeus

• Roman Church - Jesus as Orpheus

• Coptic Church - the image of Isis becomes Mary

• Celtic Church - Jesus the Druid (Columba)

• Germanic Church - the Heiland

• Christendom one faith one empire

• The Saxon Church and the war band

• Synod of Whitby - the date of Easter; monks hair

• Mission ends within empire,

• becomes conquest beyond it

• Modernity evangelism recovered in Christendom

• Individuals called to belief in a Christian country

• Aimed at intellectual conviction and crisis conversion

Learning from foreign mission

• ‘Do not try to call them back to where they were,

• and do not try to call them to where you are, beautiful as that place may seem to you.

• You must have the courage to go with them to a place neither you nor they have been before.’

Revisiting the stories that made us

• The emerging postmodern culture promotes story as re-enchantment. • Facts are told from a perspective, as is history but our stories are with listening

to

• Personally testimony honestly shared is valued

• New and old mythologies give meaning to life

• The new spiritualties – especially Paganism – weave meaning from story –what stories do Christians need to rediscover and re-imagine?

• Out narrating other stories.

• UK: Arthur and Glastonbury – Patrick and the Celtic saints. But not colonial church or the crusades…

• But be careful of the national identity being spoken of!

Expressing faith in fresh ways

• Re-imagined language• Humble apologetics• Avoiding religious jargon – sin, redemption, salvation, Eucharist…. But finding

ways to speak afresh of what they mean • God talk and issues of power and gender• Parables and ambiguous evangelism

• Re-imagined Church• Vulnerability and the lessons of Jesus - sending out the disciples as guests –

refusing the way of power• Incarnation within our different cultures leading to many expressions with

shared family likeness• Going to where people are not expecting them to come to us• A place for both the traditional and the new – Cathedrals, minster churches

and good local parishes along with fresh expressions

Readers as Church-starters?

• Fresh expressions of church primarily lay led

• Mission-shaped readers suited to starting mission-shaped churches

• Have training many do not have

• Training of readers will need to change?
