There are 160 fresh expressions known to us, varying in size from under 20 people to hundreds. We believe there are many more we do not know of. Fresh expressions are being developed in almost all districts. £70 million in Circuit Advance Funds is now available for mission-based projects. A new book, changing church for a changing world, has been published with lots of stories and some challenging questions.
