EDITORIALTwelve years ago, my family and I moved from central London to a smaller community on the outskirts of the city. We had been leading a thriving urban church, and my role as a public theologian and evangelist flowed out of that local incarnational ministry. We felt called to pioneer a ministry—a Celtic model of church, vocation and Christian community-engaging.

EDITORIALMost Christian leaders will face period of anxiety at some point in their life. I would characterize this as a pervasive feeling that you are not OK.

Dear Jo,As I travel into the financial district of London today to speak at an investment bank, I am writing to you from the train. I am giving thanks for the Christians who work in these spaces. There can be an unhealthy tendency among Christians to think of “Christian work” as superior to “secular work.” I have met so many people who feel disappointed that God didn’t call them to full-time ministry, and this feeling largely comes down to their beliefs about what work is.
