What is it about?

Why is it important?
The article is written from the perspective of liberal Christian theology, contributing to contemporary debates about whether mainstream churches should retrench or reach out to spiritual seekers.
Perspectives
This was the last issue of Modern Believing edited by me and was designed to offer a positive account of how, just as Vatican II responded to the need to change with the times, there are new opportunities for churches today.
