God loves to bring people into community, into a knowledge of being loved and valued. Many people, especially those living in marginalised and socially deprived communities, struggle with mainstream church. The Ignite café-church model, pioneered in Canterbury Diocese, is designed to build relationships and share faith with people where they are, in their own communities. Through eating and exploring faith together, Ignite shares the gospel in both word and action, while also supporting people's essential needs. This book sets out how to plan and run Ignite in your context. It covers building and supporting a team, how best to set up for Ignite and the style in which it should be delivered. Pre-planned 'running orders' provide two years' worth of weekly material including video clips, table discussions, quizzes, short talks, craft activities, drama and prayer responses.

Is this all there is to faith?Every Christian carries a map, a mental image of their journey through life, created from their Christian tradition, their cultural background and their understanding of the Bible. Most Christians will also, at some point in their life, begin to question their map - causing them to ask, 'Is this all there is?' and 'How did I get here?'Mary and Charles Hippsley help us to identify our faith map, including the unexamined assumptions that underpin it. Then, drawing on a range of sources of wisdom including personal experience, they gently encourage us to allow God to expand our map when we find that our faith doesn't match up with the reality of life. They aim to equip the reader to navigate their journey towards maturity by exploring new paths and landscapes of faith.
A prayerful resource, this book uses reflection, scripture and Julian of Norwich's own teachings to present a meditation that enables the reader to linger on the wonder of the cross.
