5.0 out of 5 stars Provocative challenge to our models of Church, 9 Jun 2008
By P. Rundell (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ian Mobsby's latest book is a deeply Trinitarian take on the way that the organised Church operates in Britain today. Its core theology starts from a search for a better picture of the person of the Spirit than most British churches offer. Around this he develops key notions: from tourists to pilgrims, from consumers to participants, from individualism to community. The book draws on aspects of Mobsby's own spiritual development, and reflects the experience of those with whom he has worked. The result is an affirmation of the open-ness of God's welcome and an assertion of the value of mystery. Its rejection of closed answers (and the closed communities they invite) accompanies an emphasis on apophatic paths to relationship with God, and implies greater attention to meditative and contemplative prayer.

There is, of course, plenty to disagree with. His take on Augustine, for example, is probably unfair to the full complexity of that extraordinary figure. But his thesis is surely that diversity and debate are closer to the heart of faith than dogma and division; he would be disappointed if nobody disagreed with him.

More urgently, the book is a creative and provocative call to live a different exploration of the calling to relationship which comes from the experience of the mystery of the Triune God. We can all be grateful for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars relational, revolutionary and relevant for right now , 12 Jun 2008
By Mrs. Cl Catford "ammie cat" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whether you are on the faith journey or not, this book helps you to unlearn alot of the rubbish you may have picked up along the way about the Christian tradition in its truest sense. It explains that you do not have leap through hoops to become a christian, but that you/we are all in a relationship with god whether we choose to acknowledge it or not - and the glory if it is that this is a relationship - as the trinity which the author explains in easy to understand detail - is all about relationships - this is not about doing or saying the right thing, or being perfect, but being drawn into a relationship with a god who accepts as where we are, not where we or others think we should be - transformative and thought provoking, Read it if you read nothing else this month.
