Emerging Downunder
Creating New Monastic Villages of God
edited by Ray Simpson and Brett Lee
Emerging Downunder taps into the current hunger for spirituality, the death pains of various obsolete church forms, and the rising tide of hope felt by many Christians. It suggests that the fragmented church needs to reconnect both with its roots and with the contemporary environment, providing practical examples of church that bring praying, eating, learning and hospitality together in one place.The book was first publsihed as Church of Isles by Ray Simpson for a Bristish audience. In collaboration with Australian church activist Brent Lyons Lee, the book has tapped into worldwide conversations about ’emerging church’ and ‘new monasticism’ and applied these ideas to a ‘downunder’ context.
