| Summary: | As democratic societies become more urbanised, pluralistic and science-driven, there are Secularist pressures to marginalise the Christian presence.

This paper argues that in a post-Christian climate, interdenominational cooperatives, often in partnership with groups of local churches, are best positioned to minister acceptably and relevantly among their unchurched neighbours. |
