Sharing the
Gospel of Salvation aims to equip the Church of England for the task of
evangelism in a multifaith context.
This revised and expanded edition incorporates a range of new insights and
good practice guidance arising from the work of the Church of England’s
Presence and Engagement programme, which seeks to resource those churches
with at least 10% of parishioners from another religious tradition, enabling
them to become confident in sharing the gospel sensitively and effectively with
people from other backgrounds, and in welcoming those who embrace Christian
faith.
As well as featuring a new Introduction and Afterword by Archbishop Justin
Welby, the second edition has been fully updated in terms of social context,
statistics and further reading. It also contains a wealth of stories from
local churches which demonstrate that evangelism, work for the common good,
and interfaith dialogue are not three competing and contradictory activities
for the Church but integral aspects of mission.
It is essential reading for all those involved in or training for mission
and ministry in a multifaith context. |
