How do I get the best out of this material?
 
To get the best out of the notes, I recommend you work through two of the one-page topics every week. Commit 30 minutes to viewing the material, following up on the verses mentioned and pondering over the issues raised. Check out the additional resource links provided over and above this.
 
The most effective use of these notes is unquestionably in the context of a small group of friends that you embark on a journey with. But of course, you may find better ways to maximise the material.
 
Is there a copyright on the material?
 
Please feel free to use or share these notes in the Kingdom cause of Christ. However, we do ask you to respect the copyright; that is, please refer correctly to the source when using or quoting the material and please do not use this content in the production of your own material without the prior written consent of the author.
 
Are there any qualifications?
 
I’ve attempted to capture concepts in diagrams and statements that provoke thought and stimulate dialogue. In this, I acknowledge the generalisations that arise out of attempting to be concise and provocative. In making comparisons from what I define as “big church” or the “modern church”, I’m trying to capture the shift in mindset required; I’m in no way pointing fingers at any church or denomination. Having been a senior pastor myself – and having many friends who are still pastors – I’m trying to identify the systemic inconsistencies with hierarchical institutions and the shift some of us have made.
