AOG UK Churches Looking Forward
20 March 2013
The Assemblies of God (AOG) network of churches in the UK has a fine heritage of growth and community engagement.
However, the current leadership of the network, under Pastor John Partington, recognise the need for a vibrant new engagement with rapidly changing community needs and likely future challenges.
The network invited social futurist Mal Fletcher, director of Next Wave International and chairman of 2020Plus, to speak to its Central Region Leadership Conference recently.
Mal addressed the subject of 'The Social Tsunami: How Churches can Engage the Emerging Wave of Social Change.'
The response to the lectures has been outstanding, particularly via social networking streams.
Mal reported that delegates were engaged in a 'lean forward' way throughout - and the Q & A time at the end revealed a willingness to tackle difficult issues.
