Fresh Expressions of Church are most significant development in the Church of England in recent decades. Many have called for a thorough theological engagement with the movement. The Church of England is engaging in radical new departures when the ecclesiological thinking for such experiments is far from complete. Parishes are the mainstay of the 'inherited church'. Frequently they are belittled and cast as either unhelpful or irrelevant. The authors argue for the vitality of the parish, both for mission and for discipleship. The authors argue that the forms of the church are to be an embodiment of her faith. They should therefore be more determined by our theological traditions than by the surrounding culture. They show that the traditions of the parish church represent ways in which time, space, community are ordered in relation to God and the gospel.

It is quite a read... the first thing to say is that in my view this is the most serious and important book on Anglican mission that I have read for many years - not least because it is unashamedly theological... a readable, challenging, and closely argued book, and Andrew Davison and Alison Milbank are to be congratulated. Indeed, every parish priest and pioneer minister needs to read this book as a matter of urgency... this book isn't against Fresh Expressions... Mission-shaped Church sold thousands of copies. This book deserves to do just as well. --Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford. The Church Times, 26 November 2010
Davison and Milbank show how the Fresh Expressions and Emerging Church movements have compounded mistakes in soteriology and ecclesiology, generating a flight into segregation, and a flight away from tradition... [They] have produced a book of breathtaking contrasts. In terms of mood, it is simultaneously dour and lively; serious, yet amusingly and deeply ironic; punchy, yet wise; thoughtful, yet discursive... this book is something of a tour de force that really does need engaging with. It should be widely read, studied, and meditated upon: deeply. --Martyn Percy. Modern Believing
'This is one of those books which ought to be standard reading for Church of England clergy and leading laity... Two contrasting concepts of worship are at stake here, reflecting profoundly different understandings of what the Church is. Andrew Davison and Alison Milbank have done an excellent job in exposing the differences, and warning against the superficial attraction of constant novelty... Fortunately, there is room to bring together different expressions of the nature of the Church and its worship. This erudite and thought-provoking book provides an ideal meeting ground.' --John Habgood, Former Archbishop of York.
The Revd Dr Andrew Davison is Tutor in Christian Doctrine at Westcott House, Cambridge. He is the initiator of the Returning to the Church project. The Revd Dr Alison Milbank is Associate Professor in Theology and Literature, University of Nottingham and Priest Vicar of Southwell Minster
