Text & Context: Church Planting in Canada in Post-Christendom

by Leonard Hjalmarson (Editor), Bob Roxburgh (Foreword), David Fitch

How does the text of the gospel take root in a post-Christendom culture? What sort of disciplines and imagination root a kingdom presence in Canadian neighbourhoods? How does this frame of “church plant” shift in our renewed awareness of the missio Dei?

This project tells the stories of eleven church planters, in nine Canadian cities. In part, it comprises a research project to discover what stories are really being written on the Canadian front lines. It anticipates a diverse contextualization of the gospel as we re-enter the neighbourhoods of towns and cities and urban centers.

A bit of a mixed bag but very helpful for seeing current trends in a Canadian context and on reflecting on how church planting has changed over time. Recommended for anyone thinking about church planting in Canada. Probably less of a revelation for people who have been doing it for a while.
