Methodist Fresh Expressions Consultation

High Wycombe.

March 3rd-4th 2008 at the Wycliffe Centre,
This consultation is aimed at leaders and other key practitioners of fresh expressions of church within the Methodist Church.  The consultation will look primarily at the opportunities, problems and issues faced by those engaged in fresh expressions work.  The programme will be given over mainly to small groups working on relevant issues identified from current practice and knowledge.  There will be two concise keynote inputs, one by Rev Dr Martyn Atkins (President of the Methodist Conference), while the other will be given by fresh expressions leaders about their own experiences in this work.


For information on booking, please contact Ian Marden:
