Cornwall's Transforming Mission debate ripples across the country
A well-argued and well-balanced letter in the Church Times today (Friday 27 May 2022) by a vicar in Ashford, Kent, questioning the box-ticking and numbers' obsession of Transforming Mission, an evangelical programme being rolled out across five towns in Cornwall. The Rev. Dr Stephen Brian's letter is in response to a letter by Rev Rosheen Browning, Priest in Charge at Camborne, Cornwall, published last week - suggesting an indicator of the success of Transforming Mission lay in the level of its engagement with young people. Rev. Browning's figures contradicted a Diocesan document produced in October 2018, which details extensive youth work across Camborne Cluster before the Transforming Mission programme was started there in 2019.
