"In the wake of a declining mainstream Church there are a myriad of individuals and communities carrying on a spiritual quest celebrating a spirituality which is lifegiving, just and connected to the earth many are building on the christian story, but are not limited by past traditions they are futurechurch - exploring the new possibilities on the edge"

from Issue 1 of futurenewz

"While the future may not have a church as we have known it, there are some signs of what could develop in terms of ways people want to connect in terms of their faith journey. Its exciting to be in the position of noticing all these connections and hearing stories about groups and individuals charting new territory."

Rosmary Neave, futurechurch networker
