The word 鈥榗hurch鈥� was not used to describe hundreds of new Church of England congregations, initiatives and community groups set up over the last decade. Research by the Centre for Church Planting Theology and Research, at Cranmer Hall, Durham, found that in the past ten years, around 900 so-called 鈥渘ew things鈥� have been started in 11 dioceses. But none of the dioceses used the term 鈥渃hurch鈥� as its main description of those 鈥榯hings鈥�. Rev Canon Professor Alison Milbank, theologian and author of The Once and Future Parish (2023), and Rev Canon Dave Male, the Church of England鈥檚 co-director for vision and strategy, discuss if this is simply about the choice of language or something deeper?
