Developing the Church on The Edge project is throwing up a range of responses. One group linked with the local secular forum, found a very encouraging response to the proposal and no real shyness around the church issue. In another area there a more questions from church leaders than from laity to the proposal.

A couple of questions on these recent issues are:
How do you engender support for such an edgey project when there are very mixed responses?
How upfront are we about the intentional agenda of growing church and how do we enable people to see the ongoing and unconditional nature of the project with apologising for the church element?
