The book is based on the six topics that are core to the Thrive Collection, and each is explored using insights from our work with churches over the last nine years. The book provides a great foundation for the other materials in the Thrive Collection, and is the recommended starting place for incumbents and leaders.
‘This book will be a gift to many multi-parish benefices … that we might continue to discover yet more of what it means to be the Church in and among our local communities.’
Rachel Treweek, Bishop of Gloucester
