    5: Supporting Culture through Spaces and Rhythms

    Your church wants to be a warm, hospitable family on a mission. But when outsiders turn up, do they feel the love? In this episode we explore the ways that our physical spaces and practices can either support or detract from the ‘real us’ that we want the world to see. Featuring the lovely Lydia Read from Hope Vineyard.

    4: Hope and Help for Culture Change

    A compelling vision for change can be suffocated by a culture that is out of step. But changing the culture of any organisation is harder than one might imagine. How do we change the culture of church, shaped through umpteen years of tradition? The answer, says this team, is not to try and impose change. Rather, the whole church family should share in the crucial conversation needed for everyone to own the change for themselves. The leaders’ role is then to support the change that everyone desires!

    1: It's not your fault! (The 1700 year wedgie)

    Why do we do church this way? Our special guest Paul Milson from Brightwater Anglican tells how 'Christendom' church began 1700 years ago and why the decline in this way of doing church in a post-Christendom age is not our fault. Instead of being part of the problem, how can we be part of the solution?
