LSM in a nutshell

A simple introduction to Local Shared Ministry as it began in Bay of Islands Uniting Parish (NZ) in 1992 has been widely distributed. We have found this useful for people who haven't got time to wade through the lengthy explanations that are available from various sources. It's reasonably up to date.

Also, we are still finding a lot of use for a ten minute video documentary that was made the year after we commenced. We have distributed some 60 copies of this in five countries. It is now available on DVD together with three or four other short videos on small churches and LSM. We have often talked of bringing it up to date but actually there's nothing much that we would want to change. 

Our team is down to three in 2008 and we will be having another Calling shortly - probably the fifth or sixth we have had over the 16 years in our 40-family parish.
