How to Do Mission Action Planning (SPCK, 2009) was the first book to appear on the MAP process, at a time when it was beginning to have a significant impact. In this fully revised and expanded edition, the authors offer further critical evaluation and theological reflection, by drawing on the experiences of people who have been using the MAP process in different contexts from their own:Fr Damian Feeney, parish priest and Catholic Missioner of Lichfield dioceseCanon David Banbury, leader of Parish Mission Support, Blackburn dioceseThe Rt Revd Dr Alan Smith, Bishop of St AlbansDr Stephen Hance, Canon Missioner of Southwark dioceseLinda Rayner, the United Reformed Church co-ordinator for Fresh Expressions
"(On the first edition): The book is very hands on, providing clear guidance about how MAP can help parishes and dioceses envisage their future . . . Along the way the authors provide a number of insights that give much pause for thought . . ." - Theology Journal
"Both of the authors are extremely well qualified in using MAP . . . Anyone already involved in MAP would benefit from reading it. It will become, I hope, the starting point for the many parishes that have not yet begun to explore this kind of tool." - Church Times
"It is excellent at what it does and really can bring wisdom to church leaders." - Preach magazine
