Fred Drummond

All That Jazz

The church is facing a sea of change. Internally, church members are competing with falling numbers and a lack of resources. Externally, the church is being marginalized and labelled as an ageing institution with no relevance. What can be done? How can the church respond? Will we sink or swim?

Fred's new book is now available and is well worth reading. Using the core metaphor of jazz improvisation Fred raises a challenge to those in leadership in the church about responding to the developing cultural situations we find ourselves in. Fred questions our need to improvise in the areas of Leadership, Worship, Discipleship and Evangelism. Following the key theme of improvising Fred doesn't offer a prescribed set of answers, but certainly sounds the challenge. This is a helpful book that will stimulate thinking and I hope encourage the us to respond to the challenge of the times. Don't just buy the book - read the book.

If you are in Glasgow on Tuesday 4th Sept go along to Wesley Owen on Bothwell St at 7.00 p.m. and Fred will be signing copies of the book.
