Editorial Reviews

This is essential, informative, and intelligent easy reading on a subject that cannot be dismissed or ignored: the rising number of de-churched or churchless Christians.--Melanie Carroll "Together magazine, July-August 2016"

Dr Steve Aisthorpe offers an original, insightful and authoritative voice on making visible and audible the invisible church of churchless Christians. His insights need to be taken seriously to understand God's presence and activity in today's world.--The Revd Canon Professor Leslie J Francis, University of Warwick

Here is a book dealing with one of the most significant issues of our time. While undergirded by rigorous academic research, it is eminently accessible and will be of deep interest to all who are interested in the changing nature of society, as well as the changing face of the church. In every chapter it aims to secure the reader's practical engagement. At once hopeful and challenging, this is a major contribution to reflection on the place of the church in contemporary society. I wish it a wide readership.--Rt Rev Dr Angus Morrison, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
