Tue 21 Oct 2025 Breaking with Tradition

In this episode we examine some new ways of doing things in the Church.  Are there still barriers to belonging for those who have a negative view of the Church? And are there barriers to unity within the church because of strongly held doctrinal views?    Later in the episode Public Theologian Dr Craig Heilmann explores the rift that appointing a women as new Archbishop of Canterbury has caused within the global Anglican communion.     Dunedin Bishop Anne van Gent unpacks her journey towards a calling to ministry, and present a case for a more inclusive and diverse church community.    But first up Jason Perkins from the irresistible church movement present a new way of structuring church culture and practice for the benefit of non-members, and how this changes the focus of the leadership and congregation.    Love to get your thoughts & comments on any of these issues, text 8168 - start with the keyword “comments” or check out the website - www.thoughtsandcomments.co.nzSupport Rhema: https://donate.rhemamedia.co.nz/?brand=rhema&utm_source=omnystudio&utm_medium=linkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
