friday mailing: Churches and cultural programming

The most recent friday mailing from Nick Shepherd features a case study in which I briefly review the cultural programmes set up in each of the Parishes in which I have ministered, including several with smaller congregations and available resources, and draw out key learning from each initiative.

The friday mailing is compiled by Nick Shepherd and seeks to inform and inspire the community of practitioners leading learning in the church (with a particular slant towards the Church of England). It serves a diverse constituency of educators, leadership practitioners, discipleship enablers, jobbing ministers and fancy titled coach/facilitators working across the church.

The purpose of fm is to signpost articles, resources, events and research that stimulate reflection on the breadth of learning the church engages in; within worshiping communities, pioneering & mission contexts and the public square. This includes the continuing ministerial education and formation work in dioceses, courses and colleges. fm is compiled by staff in the Archbishops’ Council’s Ministry and Evangelism & Discipleship teams, but relies on community members to send us the appropriate news and views.
