Distinctly Welcoming

Richard Sudworth is Mission Consultant for the Faith to Faith Forum of Global Connections.

The Revd Dr John Corrie writes:

"This is a superb resource for Christians and churches who want to build bridges of grace-filled and gospel-faithful relationship with other faiths. Richard is a practical theologian who earths his biblical and missional reflection in a wealth of useful and encouraging strategies for being ‘distinctly welcoming’. The title gives the key to his approach: he suggests a model of mission which holds in creative tension a confident faith in our theological distinctives with a generous and open welcome to others. To hold a distinctive faith which we can articulate clearly secures us with a strong sense of identity which becomes the key to a respectful and inclusive embrace of diversity. When we know who we are in Christ we can build relationships of respect which are gracious, open-hearted and unconditional. Yes, these relationships will be risky, vulnerable and unpredictable, but nurtured by scripture, prayer and worship we have strong foundations to reach out, true to our faith, but willing to be shaped by our experiences and encounters with others. The call is to be neighbours, witness, friends and partners."
