JOHN DUNNETT, DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS AT THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND EVANGELICAL COUNCIL

How to do Mission Action Planning (SPCK, 2009) was the first book to appear on the MAP process, at a time when it was beginning to have a significant impact. In this fully revised and expanded edition, the authors offer further critical evaluation and theological reflection, by drawing on the experiences of people who have been using the MAP process in different contexts from their own:

  • Fr Damian Feeney, parish priest and Catholic Missioner of Lichfield diocese
  • Canon David Banbury, leader of Parish Mission Support, Blackburn diocese
  • The Rt Revd Dr Alan Smith, Bishop of St Albans
  • Dr Stephen Hance, Canon Missioner of Southwark diocese
  • Linda Rayner, the United Reformed Church co-ordinator for Fresh Expressions

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised as a rare and refreshing meditation on mission planning rooted deeply in spirituality, this book emphasises that sharing God’s love is central to faith rather than a secondary task. Martyn Percy highlights how the authors transform mission from a daunting obligation into a meaningful, methodical vocation. John Dunnett calls it a must-read, noting its rich theological reflections, practical examples, and valuable insights from five experienced practitioners. It is highly recommended for local church leaders seeking to discern effective ways to embody the prayer ‘your kingdom come’ through mission.
