Bishop Cray to launch new Grove Leadership series

Bishop Graham Cray, Archbishops’ Missioner and leader of the Fresh Expressions team, is to speak on discerning leadership at the launch of a new Grove Leadership Series of books this month.

In developing the series, Grove Books has partnered with CPAS to offer "biblical, thoughtful, practical and kingdom focused" ideas and thinking on leadership.

Bishop Cray, author of the first booklet in the series, champions a revolution in leadership through renewed dependence on the Holy Spirit - with profound implications for resourcing the local church for mission.

The series, comprising four titles a year, will address some key contemporary issues as well as offer practical insights for those in leadership roles.

The launch will take place at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity on Tuesday.

Discerning Leadership is priced £3.95.

About the launch: LICC, June 8, from 6.15pm to 8.30pm.
Ticket price is £7 (£5 concessions) including refreshments and copy of Bishop Graham’s booklet. Bookings of four from one church get an additional place free. To book, contact LICC on 020 7399 9555 or email mail@licc.org.uk
