8 Passions Needed For Church Planting And Church Renewal Impressions From A Church Planting Tour In Australia, Edgar Machel
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
In April 2002 I had the opportunity to be part of a church planting tour in Australia. How are young churches in Australia able to reach secular and a-religious people?

The churches we attended and/or studied were Independent, Charismatic, Baptist and Seventh-day Adventist.

Before considering story-based, big-picture curricula I will first look at how the multiethnic church, and other types of churches, relates to the dominate theological themes of unity and diversity.
When The Church Was A Family: Revisioning Christian Community In Light Of Ancient Social Values, Joe Hellerman
When The Church Was A Family: Revisioning Christian Community In Light Of Ancient Social Values, Joe Hellerman
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
Some might attribute the relational crises characterizing our churches solely to individual sin and selfishness. Sin and selfishness, however, have been around since Adam. Why the radical increase in relational breakdown in our society and in our churches today? Something bigger is in the works, and it has to do with the unique orientation of modern Western culture, especially contemporary American society.
