An introduction

Why this? Why now?

These are extraordinary times of change for us as a society. The Evangelical Alliance is about working together to make Jesus known. We have created 7 Conversations because we believe God is doing something exciting in His church; we want to tell that story and encourage all of us to take the next step on the journey. 7 Conversations is an invitation to discuss the cultural trends of a generation, reflect on what we do and make decisions that will increase the fruitfulness of our ministry.

It is based on several years of research and extensive interviews with hundreds of church and organisation leaders, young adults and academics. We hope that it enables every church, regardless of size or setting, to grow in understanding, numbers and depth in this area.
