Encounters on the Edge
Encounters is a series of quarterly publications from Church Army's research unit, The Sheffield Centre.
Since 1999 we have researched the widening range of fresh expressions of church born out of creative church planting processes. The Encounters booklets aim to spot emerging trends, identify good practice and offer strategic thinking for pioneers. Nearly all our research is based on visiting and working with Christian communities around the country, which enables us to both question previous assumptions about church and mission and suggests ways forward.
