Christians today are facing the challenge of how to bridge the gap between church and the local community.

This helpful resource offers some ideas about how to listen to God, to the needs around us, and to ourselves, so that churches can truly engage with their communities.

In todays climate of recession many people are struggling in extremely difficult circumstances. Churches have the opportunity to demonstrate their faith in practical ways as they meet people at their point of need, truly reflecting the love and compassion of Christ.

Building Bridges details some of the Listening courses and resources available from Acorn; it describes typical processes through which a vision for a Listening initiative in the local community is birthed and realised and also gives practical guidance on how this can be established and developed.
