He speaks of the expectation that Messy Church congregations have 'stepped into the rubber dinghy but won't properly be on the voyage until they have boards the Sunday church ship'. The essayists, in different ways, challenge this assumption. In doing so, they address the fundamental questions what church is and what it is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eJean Pienaar's chapter 'Making sacred space in messy churches' is particularly interesting in the comparison it makes between the different types of sacred space in a monastery and in a messy church setting. She explores the way in which Messy Church, instead of being at the periphery of church, reflects in its format the core values and purpose of worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf Pienaar speaks of the way in which Messy Church is deeper than it first appears, Dr Irene Smale adds that its influence is wider than is often thought. She speaks of relationships and pastoral contacts that go far wider than the monthly meetings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe essayists are brave and unflinching in their enquiries of Messy Church, and dare to ask questions that we often fail to ask of traditional church. Does Messy Church make disciples? How do we support those for whom Messy Church doesn't 'work'? Is it too messy, too expensive, not engaging enough for boys?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOne criticism that could be levied at this books is that there are more questions that answers. On the whole, I think that is a good sign. The essayists, all Messy Church enthusiasts, are not overkeen to leap to its defence in the face of difficult issues. When necessary, they allow the questions to hang in the air in a way that is appropriately messy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKaren Rooms thanks Lucy Moore for 'giving away Messy Church', so that it can be adapted and contextualised for each parish. I finished the book excited about where Messy Church would go next, and its potential to play a leading part in the Church in the years ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Revd Catherine Pickford, Team Rector, Benwell Team, Newcastle-upon-Tyne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-01-18T15:22:10+00:00","created_at":"2019-01-18T15:22:11+00:00","vendor":"Ian Paul","type":"Paperback","tags":["Mar-17"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":21769408774244,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9780857464880","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Being Messy, Being Church: Exploring the direction of travel for today's church - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":999,"weight":231,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9780857464880"}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0148\/6107\/4532\/products\/9780857464880-l.jpg?v=1549043155"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0148\/6107\/4532\/products\/9780857464880-l.jpg?v=1549043155","options":["Format"],"content":"\u003cp\u003eA series of essays by different contributors exploring what Messy Church brings to the wider church, how these different forms of church community can coexist, and what this might mean for the future of the church.

He speaks of the expectation that Messy Church congregations have 'stepped into the rubber dinghy but won't properly be on the voyage until they have boards the Sunday church ship'. The essayists, in different ways, challenge this assumption. In doing so, they address the fundamental questions what church is and what it is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eJean Pienaar's chapter 'Making sacred space in messy churches' is particularly interesting in the comparison it makes between the different types of sacred space in a monastery and in a messy church setting. She explores the way in which Messy Church, instead of being at the periphery of church, reflects in its format the core values and purpose of worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf Pienaar speaks of the way in which Messy Church is deeper than it first appears, Dr Irene Smale adds that its influence is wider than is often thought. She speaks of relationships and pastoral contacts that go far wider than the monthly meetings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe essayists are brave and unflinching in their enquiries of Messy Church, and dare to ask questions that we often fail to ask of traditional church. Does Messy Church make disciples? How do we support those for whom Messy Church doesn't 'work'? Is it too messy, too expensive, not engaging enough for boys?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOne criticism that could be levied at this books is that there are more questions that answers. On the whole, I think that is a good sign. The essayists, all Messy Church enthusiasts, are not overkeen to leap to its defence in the face of difficult issues. When necessary, they allow the questions to hang in the air in a way that is appropriately messy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKaren Rooms thanks Lucy Moore for 'giving away Messy Church', so that it can be adapted and contextualised for each parish.
