One problem facing missional churches is the tension between gathering for worship, teaching and encouragement, and scattering in mission.

The Seize the Day podcast for December is now online. In it we’re talking again to Bob Hopkins of Anglican Church Planting Initiatives, about the ‘clusters’ approach to church, and how this balances gathering and scattering.

Bob Hopkins

The November ‘Seize the Day’ podcast is now online.

In it I’m talking to Bob Hopkins, of Anglican Church Planting Initiatives, about the ‘Clusters’ model of church – also known as ‘mid-sized missional communities.’

This is the first of three conversations with Bob Hopkins – next month, we’ll be talking about how the Clusters model balances gathering for worship and encouragement with scattering for mission.

Also in this programme we’re reviewing the new edition of ‘Perspectives on the World Christian Movement,’ edited by Ralph Winter and Steven Hawthorne.
