Change is a constant in the life of the world and the church. Some change is chosen, other change is demanded by circumstance or opportunity, but faithful change responds to the call to proclaim the gospel afresh in each generation, and to make new disciples. Faithful Change explores change honestly, hopefully and helpfully with the aim of helping churches facing it in a variety of ways, from changing the way they worship or uses their assets, to beginning a new ministry or bringing another to an end. The authors bring together biblical reflection, theological, liturgical and formational resources to help congregations travel emotionally and spiritually through the process of change before taking the necessary practical steps. They offer coaching questions to guide conversation and a resource section to help congregations root the experience of change in the local context. With stories of change from a range of different settings, Faithful Change will inspire communities to face change with honesty, openness, courage and faith.

The Trotter family have been pillars of the Peckham community for decades, so when a bin man found this folder of documents at the bottom of the refuse chute in Nelson Mandela Towers and saw that it had official council and even police documents in it, he thought it might be worth something. He passed it to his gaffer, who passed it to his gaffer, and it was then decided that this valuable overview of the area’s modern history seen through the experiences of a family whose connections stretch throughout the borough, should be published in the public interest... Documents include the Trotters’ family tree, paperwork from Rodney''s school days, snapshots from family holidays, and even the first chapter draft of Rodney''s novel. The book will be illustrated with never-before-seen memorabilia and ephemera, from Raquel''s original dating agency form, from before she met Del, to a set of promt cards Del created for Trigger: ''DON’T let Roy Slater fit you up for stealing 3,000 Green Shield stamps ever again, even if you did get an electric blanket and a toaster when you came out of jail.
