  1. Re-imagining mission for a spiritual age Listening and sharing faith with people in New Spiritualities

  2. I believe in Angels? • A universal and mainly non Christian experience • What is being experienced? • An over active gland? • The latest craze? • Or?.....

  3. Post Christian spirituality • My experience is true • Things that happen are not coincidences but ruled by spiritual forces • My ‘faith’ is assembled from the bits I like in other spiritualities D.I.Y. style

  4. ‘New Age’ background Eastern Unity in spiritual realm Transcending the body Consumer orientated ‘Pagan’ background Western Unity in physical realm Celebrating the body Consumer suspicious New Spiritualities

  5. Lessons for sharing faith • People increasingly come to faith through experience rather than changing thinking • People want to grow spiritually and will take support in this seriously • Sharing faith is welcomed. Telling others what they share is wrong simply closes the conversation • Don’t make truth claims people see truth as relative • People aren’t interested if Christianity is true but if it is inspiring life changing • We need to know how we will handle issues of gender, the environment, evil, other-faiths • Avoid Christian language like sin, salvation, redemption etc people don’t understand it or misunderstand it – but we still need to talk about them but with different words • We need to live as if what we say really does work • Remember God transforms people not Christians
