Dynasty or Diversity?

Holy Trinity Brompton's church plants

As well as Alpha, Holy Trinity Brompton in London is a church well-known for its long-standing commitment to church planting. However, an inaccurate stereotypical image of a large transplant of yuppies with a leader curate to an empty or struggling church elsewhere in London has often prevailed and, as such, their way of planting has been deemed irreproducible in any other context but London. 

This issue no.15 Dynasty or Diversity reflects on facts gathered from each of the churches planted to challenge this image. The majority of plants are not actually transplants. Planting does not always involve HTB people moving in a new area. Not all plants are network churches. They are not as culturally homogeneous as some might think. The evidence shows that the myths surrounding HTB planting turn out to be just that.

Order this issue to discover how their planting stories have been wider and more diverse than is often assumed. Reflection is also offered on how other these instincts of partnership with the wider church and generosity of giving away what God has given you, can be reproduced by large churches in other large towns and cities in the UK.
