The book we will be reading this year is called 'Bridging the Gaps' (authored by SBC's minister, Rev. Trevor Neill).
What is the root of many of the problems we experience in church?
Why are our churches often places of stress and strain rather than peace and renewal?
In Bridging the Gaps, Trevor Neill shines a compassionate light on the rampant and often unacknowledged contradictions of the contemporary UK Church. Demonstrating how these inconsistencies impact us both individually and collectively, he explores the roots of the gaps and their damaging spiritual, social and cultural consequences today.
Trevor believes that, often, the problems we face in our churches are caused by our failure to be honest – with ourselves, with others and even with God. But with a passionate confidence in God and His people, Trevor shows how we can respond. Each chapter ends with thought-provoking questions exploring how our congregations and communities can be transformed as we fill in the gaps one person and one church at a time.
