Attempts to discover what those involved in practicing church within postmodern cultures really believe and hope for Includes interviews with Sue Wallace, who founded 'Visions and 'Transcendence', Jonny Baker, a member of Grace, and Roy Searle of the Northumbria Community Engages with writers and theologians including D.
