  God's Belongers should transform our thinking about what it means to belong to church. Uniquely, David Walker replaces the old and worn division between `members' and `nonmembers' with a fourfold model of belonging: through relationship, through place, through events, and through activities. From his extensive practical research, the author shows how `belonging' can encompass a far wider group of people than those who attend weekly services. This opens up creative opportunities for mission in today's world. `In this excellent book David Walker brings together his considerable gifts as a first-rate mathematician and theologian in a highly accessible manner. The result is not only fascinating and thought-provoking: its insights have the potential significantly to renew the mission of the church in its efforts to make the love of God in Jesus known. I hope it will be very widely read.' The Right Revd Dr John Inge, Bishop of Worcester
