- "The report begins with an analysis of the current cultural context of the Church of England's mission. It then outlines the history of church planting in England, with special emphasis on developments since the publication of 'Breaking New Ground' in 1994. After addressing issues of definition, the reports offers descriptions and analysis of a number of 'fresh expressions of church' that have emerged in response to the changing missionary context. Following the description of the current situation, Chapter 5 offers a theological framework for the Church of England in mission. The remainder of the report proposes a missionary methodology for church planting and for the Church in mission, and makes practical recommendations for the future". -- Intro., p. xii.
