Edge-walkers

Edge-walkers offers a valuable insight for centre-church leaders and beacons of hope for those who know centre-church no longer offers life for them.  

- Alan Jamieson, co-author of In-tensional: A Way Forward for the Church

This is not a theory book. Neither is it missiology lite. Twenty flawed saints share stories of vulnerability and delight.

- Rev. Dr Amelia Koh-Butler, Mission Secretary, Council for World Mission

Edge-walkers is a radical call to play; to see again that the whole of our world is God-infused.

- Rev. Andrew Johnson, Senior Minister, Newtown Mission

Honest. Vulnerable. Explorative. Pensive. Prayerful. These green shoots of faith may well be the seeds of hope for the church's renewal.

- Dr Charles Ringma, AM, author of In the Midst of Much-Doing: Cultivating a Missional Spirituality

These courageous stories are brave but not boastful, characterised by humility, vulnerability and fragility.

- Dave Andrews, member of the Waiters Union and author of Not Religion but Love

This book is written for those who grew up within Christian cultures and who are seeking more mystical, ecological and socially progressive forms of the faith.

- Rev. Dr Garry Worete Deverell, trawloolway theologian

What a rich constellation of courageous stories told from the edges, shaped not by certainty but by the quiet, generative work of the Spirit.

- Rev. Glen Spencer, Director of Mission, Uniting Church in Australia

Edge-Walkers is lived-out, grounded theology, offering inspiration for those who draw themselves into God and Christian community beyond the institutional church.

- Rev. Mark Faulkner, Saltbush Ministry Team Leader, Uniting Church in Australia

Warm and often vulnerable, these voices speak of a Christ present in the cracks where many of us choose not to look.

- Mikali Anagnostis, singer/songwriter and candidate for ministry, Uniting Church in Australia

Churches are moving away from the cultural centre. Rather than mourning this shift, the authors recognise it as an opportunity for creativity, pluralism and renewal.

- Rev. Assoc. Prof. Robyn Whitaker, author of Even the Devil Quotes Scripture

These vulnerable testimonies about the Divine, the church and theology offer a nourishing resource for individuals and faith communities.

- Rev. Dr Sally Douglas, Pilgrim Theological College

Compassionate and articulate practitioners seek a shared grace across difference. I found myself in tears reading stories drawn from these richly diverse Christianities.
