Apostolic Networks in Britain: New Ways of Being Church

by William K. Kay

Apostolic networks link congregations together through personal relationships. They center around apostolic figures who have the ability to mobilize resources, make rapid decisions, and utilize charismatic gifts. Networks of churches organized in this way can respond to postmodernity and cultural innovation. This book takes the story of the emergence of apostolic networks in Britain from the visionary work of Arthur Wallis through the charismatic renewal into the full-fledged Restoration Movement of the 1980s. It covers the events of the 1990s, including the Toronto Blessing, and contains fresh information based upon interviews with leading players and new survey data as well as reanalysis of historical documents.

Slighty academic book on all the new church networks in the UK, which is a must read if you want to understand the reasons and background of the majority of the fasted growing churches in the UK. It's a large and long book, but worth ploughing through and it your not from one of these churches, then i believe there is loads to learn about how your church can grow, and be more adaptable to todays culture.
