Kingdom Come
Rediscovering the Role of the Local Church

Local neighbourhoods across the world are affected by global changes as never before. People are rootless and insecure, while shifting work, family patterns and widespread scepticism about national leaders have left previously coherent areas anxious, fragmented and suspicious. All too often this fragmentation contributes to violence, racial tension, alienated youth and a resentful underclass. But there is a way forward.

If the Church can understand what is truly happening, it can be a catalyst for social and spiritual change. Malcolm Duncan outlines a ‘Kingdom approach’ which can affect every area of the local church’s engagement with their community, from housing to healthcare, from citizenship to crime prevention, from individual spiritual renewal to whole community transformation. With practical implications and exploration of opportunities for action, this is a sweeping manifesto for social transformation.
