Description

For the Parish: A Critique of Fresh Expressions by Andrew Davison and Alison Milbank explores the significance of parishes in the Church of England's recent developments. The authors argue that parishes are vital for mission and discipleship, and that their forms should be shaped by theological traditions rather than cultural influences. The book examines how parish traditions embody ways of ordering time, space, and community in relation to God and the gospel. By engaging with this ecclesiological thinking, Davison and Milbank aim to provide a thorough theological critique of Fresh Expressions of Church. This thoughtful analysis is essential for anyone seeking to understand the Church of England's current experiments. Through their examination of parish traditions, the authors demonstrate that these forms can be a powerful expression of faith in action. By prioritizing theological traditions over cultural influences, parishes can remain a vital part of the Church's mission and discipleship.
