While many churches, particularly in Western countries, are affected by a sharp decline in religious practice, an increasing number of parishes are experiencing a true pastoral transformation. In the Anglican Communion, a hundred or so parishes have already been renewed by \u2018Church Planting\u2019 which involves the establishment of new places of worship or the rebuilding of declining parishes. St Barnabas Church, in the Kensington district of London, has been a pilot parish for more than 30 years for this innovative and missionary approach. Here, we address the essential elements for the process of planting or re-planting churches, an approach that can inspire all Christian denominations.<\/p>\n
In this film, we mainly follow Andy Buckler, an Anglican parish priest from the parish of St Barnabas, who gives us the key elements for the establishment or revitalisation of our churches. He spoke in August 2019 at the \u2018Be the Church\u2019 festival of parishes organised by the Chemin Neuf Community at Dombes Abbey.<\/p>\n
