Are you ready for a challenge? The Quest for  Moral Compass by Kenan Malik.

This is a guided reading event – it involves you in participatory social learning. Guided reading can  develop a community of best practice for Creative Spaces and ministry in the kiwi connexion. Over a lifetime of church involvement Stuart Manins and David Bell have discerned that most of the trials, tribulations and triumphs of church life have their roots in the ethical, spiritual, social and theological dimensions. Malik's book provides an excellent framework for the dialogue. You can also find other Guided readings in Creative Spaces. You are warmly encouraged to set up your own guided readings for your personal ministry contexts. Contact David Bell in Creative Spaces to see how to do it.
