Life in rural Britain can be beautiful and picturesque, but there is still a great need for the gospel. On the podcast, we talk with @ScothernR (Peak Trinity Church, Bakewell) about rural church ministry.

Absolutely looking forward to this! Always good to have a natter and a bit of banter with the folks @TheRuralProject who are doing great stuff in foreign parts (mainly that little country next door to us)! But first I'm off for a gander at 'rural' in the Balkans. Speak soon!

This course material is excellent - highly recommended for all who are involved with rural ministry! Not just pastors, church members too. Presents a compelling theological vision for reaching small places, as well as reflecting on many practical aspects of rural ministry
