Product Overview
Arguably the most imaginative and energetic church response to the
pandemic has been that of HeartEdge, the interdenominational church
renewal movement founded at St Martin in the Fields by Samuel Wells but
now extending beyond the UK to Europe, North America and Australia. From
serving thousands of meals on London’s streets to becoming, in all but
name, an online conference centre and theological college offering
hundreds of events, one outstanding feature of its programme has been
Samuel Wells’ monthly conversations about the future of the Church with
leading figures from Britain and America, attended by large online
audiences. ↵

This
volume offers a distillation of those conversations which, instead of
being preoccupied with decline, focus on what Christian presence and
practice might look like in the world that is being reshaped by what the
pandemic has revealed, and the theology that is needed to sustain such a
vision.
Samuel Wells is Vicar of St Martin in the Fields, London and a renowned
public theologian, well-known for his broadcasting and writing. He is
the author of more than forty books and is Visiting Professor of Ethics
at Kings College, London.
