The recent series of Revitalisation Webinars, run by Church Society in partnership with ReNew, has been remarkably popular. Many more people than expected have attended, and more than 100 ministers have been to at least one.

Whilst they are aimed at Church of England ministers, there have been a number of independent church ministers attending and, encouragingly, a number of lay people too.

It has been surprising to find out just how many church leaders are engaged in this challenging ministry. There has been no campaign to speak of, simply God’s call on the lives of faithful, servant-hearted church leaders. Very few have a team with them and very few of the churches they go to have any established Biblical ministry. Most have gone with just their families to a non-evangelical Church of England parish or benefice.
