As the church of Christ in the UK, are we being faithful to our calling? In our values and our praxis, are we being who we are called to be and doing what God has called us to do? Is it possible that we have lost sight of who we are and what we have been called to do?

Over six sessions the resource asks us to see what has changed around us and to ask how the church can respond. Each session has accompanying films which explore the themes in more detail.
