Baptism, weddings and funerals bring the Church of England into close contact with hundreds of thousands of people every year. Life Events considers this central ministry from a fresh perspective, exploring how those who come to local churches at these key moments really think and feel. Based on rigorous research in this area, it offers pastoral wisdom, practical insights and ideas for best practice. It will encourage churches in every location to reflect on the mission and ministry opportunities of the occasional offices.
"This highly anticipated book is the fruit of extensive research, analysis and discussion. It is full of insight about the ways in which ministers and congregations engage with people around life’s key moments." -- Bishop Robert Atwell, Chair of the Liturgical Commission
"Sandra Millar has inspired churches small and large, rural and town, to look with fresh eyes at the opportunities that Life Events offer to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to take little steps on life-long journeys of discovery. This book brings it all together in one place.” -- Prebendary Caroline Pascoe, Mission Support Officer, Diocese of Hereford
