This text is based on research with those who have left churches but are nethertheless pursuing a journey of faith. Most of the church leavers interviewed for this text had been in their churches for over 15 years; most had held key leadership positions, and 40 per cent had been in full time theological study of church work. The text outlines how churches can help leavers and suggests a conversion between post-church groups and churches.

Professor Robin Gill, University of Kent at Canterbury * "One of the most significant discussions on the future of the Christian movements you are likely to read." Mike Riddell
