Hope from the margins
Simon and Ross discuss the latest release by Praxis Press, 'Hope from the Margins' with author Laurance Graham. Is there any hope for the future of the church in the Western world as it loses its former position of influence? The Church is not where it used to be, we’re marginalised... but that does not need to be bad news!
