Archbishop points to first century for ideas of mission shaped church
-23/6/04
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has called for the church to look afresh at the "remarkable transforming nature of the first century church" and allow structures to be "more permissive than prescriptive" in order to inform the delivery of fresh expressions [0] of church.
His comments were made at the sell-out tenth National Anglican Church Planting Conference [1] held in London.
The Archbishop's keynote address to 450 delegates from across different traditions within the Anglican Church highlighted the recent appointment of Stephen Croft as Archbishops' Missioner as central to helping the church through what he described as "an exciting and unchartered future."
