Clergy Conversations Part 3 – As lockdown eases, how are we journeying together effectively in a new mixed economy of Church?

“Fruit Salad” or “Fruit Smoothie”?

As lockdown eases, we are starting to speak of offering a mixed (or blended) economy of church. So is it possible to retain the distinct flavours of our traditional churches whilst incorporating the new online offerings that have been flourishing during the past few months (a fruit salad), without blending everything so much that is all looks and tastes the same (a fruit smoothie), and without burning ourselves out in the process!! We’re delighted to welcome Bishop Hugh to this, our third ‘Clergy Conversation’ during which we will continue to listen to each other as we share our experiences and ideas, and continue our journeying together.
