| Summary: | In 2006, British Anglicans and Methodists organized an evangelical initiative called Fresh Expressions to start experimental faith communities. The target population was people who are not involved in church. Over the past 13 years, Fresh Expressions has expanded to almost every continent as a movement that holds together traditional, inherited church practices with entrepreneurial experimentation. It has been lauded as an incarnational approach to mission and it has been criticized for colluding with the worst of contemporary culture. This essay explores the historical development of Fresh Expressions, its unique integral approach to ecclesiology, and its potential for ecclesial renewal and reform. |
