Mission Frontiers 34, 5 (September-October 2012)

The September-October 2012 issue of Mission Frontiers, published by the U.S. Center for World Mission, contains a number of articles around the theme of ‘Simple Churches – Dramatic Transformations’.

Here’s part of the summary blurb:

‘In this issue of we take a closer look at what is church, what they look like, who is qualified to plant them and how do they become movements. We get to take a glimpse into some dramatic transformations happening from the historic cities of Europe to the desert plains of Africa. But we are asking one question: Is church really as complicated as we have made it or is there a simpler, more effective way?’
