How can we best support gospel growth beyond our church? — with Mikey Lynch
How might our church best relate to other organisations (churches, denominations and parachurches) who are also engaged in the grand cause of reaching the world for Christ?
What is the difference between a church and parachurch and how might they best interact?
Are para-churches really just crypto-churches? And would we be better off calling them what they really are? Or do we need to change our patterns of governance and membership to make room for a broader and more diffuse idea of church?

Can I urge you to be circumspect in discussing this episode. We have been careful in our words. We want to warn against maverick comments on social media. Nothing in this episode should be taken as legal advice.

The church of England departs the Christian faith - with Archbishop Justin Badi

What next for the Anglican Communion & Church of England - with Dr Peter Jensen
The Church of England official media release says “The Church of England’s General Synod has welcomed proposals which would enable same-sex couples to come to church after a civil marriage or civil partnership to give thanks, dedicate their relationship to God and receive God’s blessing.”
The House of Bishops took a proposal to bless same sex marriages in church to the English general synod last week, in an initiative led by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of York and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
And yet what do the words in the synod resolution actually mean?
Dr Peter Jensen is the former general secretary of the Gafcon movement and former Archbishop of Sydney.
