Less attention has been devoted to the historic significance and present activity of the Free Churches, especially in English market towns. This paper analyses two areas of rural England (Leicestershire and Rutland and Oxfordshire and the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire) and demonstrates a continuing and significant Free Church presence in the countryside. It reflects on some current models of ecclesiology and considers the possibilities for new models and fresh expressions of Church which draw on the shared heritage of English Christianity both Anglican and Dissenting.

Review and Expositor 0(0) 1 -8 The encounter between Western and Eastern religions and cultures

Review and Expositor, 2013

It draws attention to the problematic nature of this encounter during a period of Western colonialism, and the impact of post-colonial criticism and perspectives. It examines the significance of the missionary movement, the development of comparative religion, and the recent emergence of dialogue as a more appropriate means of encounter between various traditions. It concludes with a discussion on the nature of plurality and pluralism, and argues that the church needs to develop a more adequate theology of religions that reflects present realities whilst remaining faithful to its historic witness.
