| Summary: | In this article I explore the challenges involved in the formation of men and women for Christian ministry in a rapidly changing world. In dialogue with George Monbiot, David Graeber, and Alan Roxburgh I suggest models of formation that are deeply rooted in the Baptist tradition, while earthed in the realities of twenty-first century life. As well as taking account of the social context in which ministry occurs, I am also aware of particular challenges facing churches in the UK - namely declining numbers and stretched finances. This results in engagement with how we understand ministry and vocation within the world of work and how formation is a partnership between college and placement churches. |
