msm gave me a chance to see what we’re doing in church from a completely different perspective.

Philippa Sargent, former Curate, Kempsey

I did msm last time and was keen to be involved this time around because it gave us the skills and impetus to start our Fresh Expression, and it encourages you to think about the nature of what Church is and who it’s for. I would highly commend it if you are passionate about proclaiming the Gospel and building the Kingdom of God through grace-changed lives.

Glenn Reading, Priest-in-charge, Astwood Bank

For me, msm was about being with like-minded people – discovering that I’m not alone in thinking that the church needs to be radically different.

Mark Badger, Vicar, Kempsey

Visiting speakers shared their experiences and gave life to what we had been discussing.

It was useful to get together with everyone and share ideas and thoughts. The weekend away was especially good for this.

Guest speakers’ testimonies were particularly interesting and inspiring.
